Sunday at the Farmer’s Market is a wonderful end to a weekend and the perfect start to eating right for the upcoming week!

Grab a friend or relative and stock up with local products and services that nourish mind, body, and soul. We have massage and tons of local products to grill, steam, fry, blanch, or just eat raw. Focus on the market for your weekly food purchases and only use mass-market retailers for things not found at the market. This way your local economy is the winner, not a corporate office in some other part of the world!

Weather report: Beautiful and 85 degrees with some scattered clouds…..

We are proud to announce new vendors:

Twisted Lemonade – Juices squeezed fresh right in front of you.

Herrcastle Farms – The freshest produce grown only 25 miles from the market.

Banyan Yoga – New yoga studio opening up in Elkins Park.
