Join Us at Milk Lady Farmers' Markets!

About Milk Lady Markets

Established in 2011, Milk Lady Markets has been serving the Montgomery County community for over a decade, creating vibrant spaces where local farmers, makers, and artisans can connect directly with their neighbors. These community-focused farmers' markets operate rain or shine (closing only for lightning and high winds), demonstrating their commitment to consistent service.

What makes Milk Lady Markets special is their dedication to accessibility and community support. Vendors accept cash, credit, debit, EBT, eWIC, and Apple Pay, ensuring that fresh, local products are available to everyone in the community regardless of their payment method.

Our Commitment to Community

At Tz'ikin Cafe, we believe in the power of community connections, which is why partnering with Milk Lady Markets feels like a natural fit. Just as we source our coffee directly from small-scale farmers in El Salvador and Guatemala, Milk Lady Markets champions local farmers and artisans right here in Montgomery County.

Their markets serve diverse communities including Bethesda, Burtonsville, Cabin John, Derwood, Darnestown, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Olney, Poolesville, Potomac, Rockville, Silver Spring, Wheaton, and many other neighborhoods throughout the county.

Sustainable Practices

We're particularly excited about Milk Lady Markets' commitment to sustainability. Their food scrap collection program at the Derwood location helps reduce food waste and sequester carbon by turning food scraps into compost. This aligns perfectly with our own commitment to ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility.

Additionally, they host community events like document shred days, demonstrating their dedication to serving the community beyond just providing a marketplace for local goods.

What to Expect

When you visit us at any Milk Lady Markets location, you can expect the same quality coffee and authentic Central American experience that defines Tz'ikin Cafe. We'll be bringing our full menu of specialty drinks, including our signature Horchata Latte, premium Chemex slow pours, and traditional espresso-based beverages.

Each market location has its own character and community feel, from the established Derwood market with its compost collection program to the vibrant Shady Grove location with its lunch-time food truck rally. We're looking forward to becoming part of these unique community gatherings.
