If you’re one of Bill Duran’s lucky dogs, Rose Park is the only place to be on Wednesday afternoons. Besides freshly made cookies and fresh water, this season, the farmers' market has some very special new human treats too.

On his wife Julie’s 14th generation farm in Sudlersville, Maryland, Jimmy Reynolds makes bread, the real old fashioned way ... from the family’s wheat, King Arthur flour, water, salt, and yeast. As Jimmy explained, “We started to go colonial. We grow our own wheat. Why not add it to the dough?” Magnolia Bread Company's artisanal loaves are sold around the region, and now here in Georgetown.
