Many families take to the beaches of Maryland and Delaware for their summer vacations.  Last month, we featured one of our merchants whose business is right on the way to Assateague Island.  This month, we are focusing on a merchant along the beach-bound path who embodies a Maryland summer tradition that rivals steamed crabs: fresh, crisp, and healthy vegetables and fruits!  As you travel to or from the Eastern Shore, be sure to stop at our Merchant of the Month, Mill Creek Farms.

Located at mile marker 55 of westbound Route 50, one mile south of the Route 404 and Route 50 junction in Maryland, Mill Creek Farms offers a tremendous assortment of produce and the plants that you need to make your yard beautiful from spring to fall. Dick Roberts and his family have been serving customers at his market for 30 years, and Dick himself has been in the produce business for 45 years.  During the spring, you’ll find bedding plants, annuals, vegetable plants, hanging baskets, and, of course, early season produce.  Summer brings a large selection of local produce, including corn, cantaloupes, watermelon, tomatoes, peaches, and more! Come fall, they’re stocked with mums, gourds, cornstalks, pumpkins, and late season produce.

In addition to fresh produce, Mill Creek Farms also stocks a wide assortment of Amish products from Northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, including pies, cakes, and cookies that are fresh every day.  Other popular items include double-yolk eggs and Amish sodas, too.  You will also find pickles, jams, jellies, spices, noodles, nuts, candies, and honey.  The store is air-conditioned, too, and you can grab a cold drink for the road while you’re stocking up on fresh goodies!

Mill Creek Farms is open seven days a week, 8 AM to 7 PM (sometimes later on weekends) from Memorial Day to Labor Day; in the spring and from Labor Day to late October, hours are 9 AM to 6 PM every day of the week. If you mention that you read about them here, you’ll get something special!

After 45 years in the produce business, Dick told us that he’s ready to retire and spend more time where he winters in Key Largo, Florida.  He’s offering the business for sale.  If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity, or know someone who is interested in purchasing a thriving business, please contact Dick at 410-820-2323 or contact us at Cash Flow Plus and we’ll put you in touch with him.
