The Farmers Market in Oakland, MD

Every Wednesday and Saturday local producers offer their goods at the Mountain Fresh Farmers Market in Oakland, MD.

Rather than drive around in your car, head for the Wisp Resort in McHenry and admire the beautiful foliage while comfortably seated in a chair lift on a scenic chair lift ride.
