Emily's Produce is a family
owned and operated produce market on Md. Rt. 16 (Church Creek
Rd) just 5 miles from the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort
in Dorchester County Maryland. Look for the “Big Red
Tomato” and there you will find the freshest locally
grown produce around. The business began in 1999 under a roadside
tent in honor of the future proprietor, then a newborn, Emily
Jackson. Since that time, Emily’s Produce has grown
into a family friendly produce business that provides quality
products and exceptional customer service.
Paul Jackson, the owner and operator of the business is a
4th generation grain farmer who wanted his daughter Emily
to appreciate the work that is put into growing and raising
crops. By choosing to grow and sell vegetables at a roadside
market, Emily’s family would have the opportunity to
teach her about the hard work of the farming profession, and
it would also give Emily the opportunity to secure her college
tuition. She now enjoys spending time helping at the market
and in the field with her dad and little brother.
The market opens in May with a U-Pick strawberry patch and
a beautiful selection of hanging baskets, perennials, annuals,
and planters. Each week, Emily's Produce offers a free recipe
of the week to each customer and delicious homemade desserts
are made on weekends. The market offers the freshest and sweetest
homegrown sweet corn and tomatoes starting in late June as
well as a wide variety of other fruits and vegetables. Customers
are also able to shop for unique and great tasting jams, jellies,
relishes, and sauces straight from the Amish countryside.
A U-Pick pumpkin patch is offered at Emily's Produce during
the fall harvest season as well as a huge selection of homegrown
mums, straight from the field. Look forward to a fun fall
experience on the farm, with an exciting time finding your
way through the milo maze. School tours are offered in the
fall, which includes an educational experience on the farm.
