What's New....
Dolly's Dish - Dolores Winston, Phoenixville local will be bringing her famous custard sweet potato pies to the market this year! They come in 3" and 6" mini pies and 8" and 10" large pies. Dolly's Dish will also be having a contest to give away a pie this weekend! My favorite part of working at the market is tasting the treats before they come aboard and Dolly's pies are perfectly spiced and over the top delicious.
Handcrafted Cookie Co., another Phoenixville favorite, produces all-natural, gourmet cookie dough and
desserts in small batches using premium ingredients and without
hydrogenated fats, corn syrup or other dubious additives. They bring tantalizing flavors like Lavender Vanilla, Raspberry Mint, Chocolate Hotties, Classic Chocolate Chip and many more! Their flavors are described here.
Iced by Betsy is new this year to Phoenixville, but was a weekly must-have at the Alpharetta Farmers Market in Georgia! Betsy Gibbons creates mini works of art that are almost to perfect to eat! We loved each one and especially the twisted lime, which Betsy describes as, "my favorite pie turned cupcake! Lime infused cupcake filled with Key
Lime curd. Topped with Key Lime Cream Cheese Icing, Graham Cracker, and a
slice of lime." All of her flavors are described here.
Kimberton Hills Dairy, a biodynamic dairy farm at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills joined us this winter at the market. Kimberton Hills is a certified organic raw milk dairy integrated into an intentional community which includes adults with special needs and abilities. Stephanie Christo and staff will bring bottled fresh milk from their pastured cows. They are also able to take special orders for beef shares and raw milk cheese.

French tradition. Her bakery is located in historic Saint Peters'

Hello Market Shoppers!
Spring glorious spring! Time for opening day at the Phoenixville Farmers Market!
We are so excited about the upcoming season. Our new location under the Gay Street Bridge is going to be a wonderful place to spend Saturday mornings! And it is only a few hundred feet from our old location so it is easy to find. In fact, you can park in the lot where we used to be for $1 per hour and then walk over to the bridge. Alternatively, You can park, free of charge, in the lot next to
the District Court Building at 347 Bridge
Street. Please remember that the lot by Family Dollar is private and reserved for their customers.
This week we have several new providers, which are highlighted on the left. We are also excited to have the Joe Hillman band kicking off the season!
It is Mother's Day weekend and we have great gifts from our artists and our specialty food providers. This is a great opportunity to pick up some fresh cut flowers, chocolates, Mom's favorite cheese, plants for her garden, cupcakes, cookies, pie, the options are endless! Children can even make a Mother's Day card or picture.
Thanks for supporting the market and I hope you enjoy what is going to be a great season!

Spotlight on Marci's Morsels...
Marci's Morsels sells
toffee
and cookies which are locally handmade with premium and organic
ingredients,
and can create gift boxes to fit your needs. This year we will
be expanding our product offering to include Gluten Free* and
Vegan-Gluten
Free* Baked Goods. We've used a variety of alternative ingredients
to ensure optimal texture without losing the to-die-for taste.
Some of these flours include: Almond Flour, Organic Brown Rice Flour,
Tapioca Flour, Garbanzo Bean Flour, and Teff Flour, just to name a few.
We are continuously experimenting with different recipes and are very
excited to debut some of our new (but already much loved) items such
as: Berry Medallions, Apricot Sand Dollars, Coconut Raspberry Bars,
and much more! We are continuously experimenting with different recipes
so please stop by throughout the season to see what new products we
have to offer.
Now, you may find yourself
asking, "The cookies were great, so why go gluten free"? About
8 years ago, I discovered I had an intolerance for wheat. Now
that I have 2 children (Elizabeth, 3, and Joseph 10 months), I have
a strong desire to find homemade baked goods which are wheat free and
nutritious. I try to use organic ingredients when available and
economical. What do I love best about these new recipes?
They not only are a great snack or treat...but are filled with nutritious
and often protein packed ingredients, thus not to leave you feeling
empty.
Who is Marci? Marci
is the name of the woman whom most of my, Anna's, cookie recipes and
toffee recipe came from. Marci is a truly wonderful woman that
has touched my life in more ways than allowing me to use her family
recipes. Thus...the name of the Company is an appreciation for
her kindness and thanks for who she is.
To my devoted cookie and
toffee customers, have no fear, the toffee and cookies are still
here!
The Phoenixville Market
is more than a market place to me; it represents community, family,
and has a way of bringing us back to our roots. We at Marci's
Morsels look forward to seeing you all at the market and my daughter
looks forward to coaxing you to try some of our samples J
