Hello Market Shoppers!
On December 18th we will have the LAST Holiday Market before Christmas and it will be loaded with great food and gifts. To add to the festivities,
we will have a real treat when Terra Nova, an a capella trio consisting of Sandra Thompson, Tim Starn, and Carolyn Gerrish will sing holiday favorites at the Market. There will even be opportunities for shoppers to join in the singing.
But that's not the only reason to come on out tomorrow. While you are there, why not buy a gift for a friend or neighbor who hasn't been to the Market? While supplies last, you can stop by the market information table to buy:
- $20 worth of Market Dollars for $18
- $30 Market Dollars for $26 or
- $40 of Market Dollars for $34.
You can pre-order Market Dollars by emailing info@phoenixvillefarmersmarket.org. The Market Dollars can be used at any of the market producers and they are a great way to share your love of fresh local food with your friends! At the market table you will also find gift certificates for massage from Ocean Earth Wind Fire, or Back To Health, and for classes at The Cob Studio, where market artist Cara Graver makes her wares and teaches pottery classes.
There are so many great artists at the Market this week where you can find unique, LOCALLY made gifts- be sure to check them out and check some names off of your holiday gift list!
Thanks to all of you for a great 2010. The Market is a true partnership between our farmers and you, the shoppers, who share a love of good food and care for our environment. We look forward to seeing you at our first Winter Market on January 8th!

Looking Ahead: 2011 our 10th Anniversary!
It's hard to believe, but 2011 will be the 10th season for the Phoenixville Farmers' Market. Some of you may remember when we started in the lot at Bridge & Main with 4 producers: Charlestown Farm, Hogland Farm, Kimberton Hills Bakery (Sweetwater), and Quarryville Orchard. Here we are 10 years later and all for producers are still at the market along with so many other wonder ones!
We will mark our anniversary year with lots of special events and promotions. Be sure to read your newsletter or check our website to make sure you don't miss any.
