LOCALS ONLY!

Our local vendor list is growing daily. That means we’re doing our best to bring you quality local products from the area.
For Whole Foods Market Bethesda, local means produce and products from Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia.
To celebrate and share some of our favorite local products, we are hosting a LOCAL Tasting Event on the 2nd Saturday throughout the summer.
Our first event took place on June 13th and was a huge success. Vendors from all over the region came out to meet customers, introduce new products and sample old favorites.
The Farm at Red Hill of North Garden, Virginia brought homemade hummus, dips and salsas. Much of the farm’s produce is grown year round in greenhouses. Learn more about their farm here.

The Crab Ladies of Frederick, Maryland are new partners of Whole Foods Market. After a tremendous reception at our new Annapolis store opening, we knew we had to get them into our Bethesda store. With three uniquely flavored, gluten-free options, this local product proves that Maryland really is all about its crab cakes.

Applegate Farms of Bridgewater, New Jersey offers a wide selection of deli meats and cheeses perfect for a summer sandwich as well as products in our meat department including hot dogs and chicken nuggets—kid favorites. Better than the taste is the quality and commitment of Applegate to provide organic and natural products that are hormone and antibiotic free.

Wagon Wheel Ranch of Mount Airy, Maryland provides fresh, local lamb. This product is unique to only a select number of area Whole Foods Markets. The lambs are fed a diet of grass and mother’s milk. This items popularity means that it quickly sells out each week in our store.
Cherry Glen Goat Cheese of Boyds, Maryland fills our Specialty department with award-winning goat cheese. Their 100% American Farmstead Goat Cheese means that all of the cheeses are created from milk exclusively from the goats they raised on the Cherry Glen Farm to provide uniquely flavored, ever popular varieties.
