Thanks giving is just around the corner and all of Frederick is getting ready!
Woman About Town, hit up a local farm, Thanksgiving Farms to be exact, this week to see what Frederick has available for the holiday table.
As a lover of buying local WAT! is excited about offering some local freshness to the family this year.
So, what’s out there to get you started?
Kale, cabbage, and greens are huge holiday favorites, as are sweet potatoes and pumpkins for making all of those pies you’re planning to bake.
Thanksgiving Farms is already taking orders for many of their farm grown goodies and they suggest that, if you have a large group to feed, you get yours in now too!
But, it’s not just a place to get fresh veggies for all of your holiday recipes, Thanksgiving Farms is also home to a pretty festive Christmas shop, where they sell their handmade wreaths and other holiday inspired accoutrements.
And, it’s pretty too!
What else is keeping us busy in Frederick this weekend? Check out What’s WAT!? to find out!

In an effort to make Woman About Town an open book, I will be completely honest with you and say that I have no intention of taking in any of these activities this weekend (well, except the donuts, naturally I won’t be missing the donuts!). Instead, I will be front and center at the Westview Regal to catch the latest installment of Harry Potter. I already have my tickets, and yes, I really am that obsessed!
Have a fun weekend, Fredericktonians, and be sure to stop by next week to catch a very special edition of Wednesday’s About Town! Follow FiND iT FREDERiCK on Facebook and Twitter (@finditfrederick) to stay involved!
