Why sure!

The market is at the intersection of U.S. Route 29 and Maryland Route
198. Therefore, take Route 29 North from I-495 and, when you get to
the intersection, go to the Northeast corner of the intersection. I
think if you turn east onto 198 and then immediately turn right into
the shops there it is easiest, unless you are coming from the north.

Now, could someone please post their hours of operation? I always show
up when they're closed. I'm almost ready to give up, so support your
local fave by publishing when they're open.
