The Common Market



The other day we made one of our trips to the Common Market in Frederick, MD.  We love, love, love it there, and usually go as a family, you know, make a day of it.  They have LOTS of resources for vegan families...including MANY choices of "ice cream" flavors, dairy-free cheeses, frozen stuff like mock pepper steak, organic and local fruits and veggies, a whole vitamin/supplement section and more.  They also have a cafe where you can get a very filling lunch (translation: you will be stuffed) and enjoy great smoothies.  They also have a hot bar...I suggest one of the delicious vegan soups.  OR there are prepared foods like vegan potato salad, sushi, and even macro/vegan dumplings and noodles.  If you plan to make a trip here, bring a cooler.  We have to because it takes us 45 minutes on the road.  But it is worth it!!!  We always have a good time, the prices are reasonable, they pride themselves on being involved in the community, and it is usually 2 weeks before I even think about going to the regular grocery store again (yay!).  There are also lots of fun things to do in Frederick, which is rich in history.  The Barbara Fritchie house is there.
