Hello Market Shoppers!

We hope that everyone enjoys a Happy Thanksgiving with all of the great local food from the Market!  The farmers and bakers and artisans thank all of you who have supported the market by shopping here.


The good news is that the Market will be open every Saturday from November 27th to December 18th from 10am to 1pm with lots of farm fresh food and great locally made unique holiday gifts.  New this year is Sitko Farms, a local Christmas tree farm in Pottsown.  Ruth Sitko and her daughters make lovely decorations with greens from their very own trees!  They also sell bundles of firewood perfect for the holidays.  In addition to eating locally, now you can decorate locally and support a local farm all at the same time.


A few of our regular farmers are taking a break this week, but they will be back next week! They are: Backyard Bison, Baues' Bees, Country Time Farm, Shellbark Hollow Farm and Sweetwater Bakery.  All will return on December 4th along with Forks Farm,Wild For Salmon, and Dolly's Dish.

We will continue to have regular Holiday Markets until December 18th and will have artists every week.  New this year is a warming hut where you can step inside to take the chill off as you stroll through the Market.  We will have gift certificates for the market available at the Market table.


If you would like one of your friends or relatives to enjoy the Phoenixville Farmers' Market you can purchase gift certificates for them at the market table.  The certificates come in $2 Market Dollars that can be used at all of the providers' stands.

We hope to see you at the Market!
