A great day for some fresh, local food and a Saturday cocktail. 🍔🍹

And this afternoon, one of our old favorites returns to 206 Alder. ❤️

One-time prep cook. All-time great.
🎶 Michelle Fincham is back and performing this afternoon! 🎶

Grab something at the market. Wander downtown. Shop a little. Eat a little. Stay awhile.

Make this Saturday a great one. We’ll see you downtown. ❤️

🌽🚜 It's a great day to celebrate Garrett County!

Start your morning at the Mountain Fresh Farmers Market, have lunch at 206, make Historic Downtown Oakland part of your day, then spend the afternoon at the Garrett County Agriculture Fair.

At 206 Alder, we proudly serve scratch-made food featuring locally sourced ingredients whenever possible because we believe the best meals start close to home. The Fair celebrates the hard work of our farmers, growers and producers, and we're proud to bring many of those same local flavors to your table.

Whether you're fueling up before the Fair or taking a break from the excitement, we'd love to welcome you.

❤️ Shop Local • Eat Local • Celebrate Local

📍206 E. Alder Street, Historic Downtown Oakland

💡 Fair Pro Tip: Today and tomorrow offer FREE gate admission to the Garrett County Agriculture Fair. If you want to enjoy the midway, an unlimited rides pass is just $15—making this the most affordable weekend to visit!

🍅 At 206 Alder, the "T" is the star of the BLT.

We know... most people think it's all about the bacon.

Not here.

For us, a great BLT starts with one thing: a perfectly ripe, locally grown tomato.

That's why you won't find our BLT on the regular menu.

Every week, we head to the Mountain Fresh Farmers Market to find the best tomatoes we can. If we find them, the BLT makes an appearance. If we don't... neither does the sandwich.

It's a little unpredictable, but we think that's exactly how seasonal food should be.

So if you've been hoping to catch one, your best bet is Wednesday or Saturday after the Farmers Market.

Fresh. Local. Seasonal.

Sometimes the best things really are worth waiting for. ❤️🍅
