Incubating Green Businesses

This month we saw a marked increase in activity around Bethesda Green. We officially opened our Green Incubator with six exciting companies confirmed and several more under consideration. The Incubator's mission is to support the development of young growing businesses that have the potential to create jobs and bring new, innovative green products to market.

   Farmers Market
Bethesda Green is regularly staffing an information table at the new Bethesda Central Farm Market, located in the Bethesda Row development. This year-round farmers market offers high quality farm fresh produce, meats, poultry, cheeses, bread, prepared products, seafood, and baked goods. The market provides a convenient place for residents to purchase local and sustainable food from farms throughout the region. Look for Bethesda Green's table on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Bethesda Lane pedestrian mall where you can learn about our current programs, sign up for a working group, and learn how to become a volunteer.
