Hello  Market Shoppers!

 

The air will be crisp tomorrow morning and we hope you will bundle up and come on down to see us!

There are MANY reasons not to miss tomorrow's market and here are just a few of them:

  • Neil's Sharpening Service will be here for the LAST time before Thanksgiving.  Grab your favorite carving knife and they will sharpen it while you shop!
  • Market Day Canele and Black Walnut Winery will make their once a month appearance at the market.
  • Stargazers Vineyard will bring Asian persimmons from their farm in addition to their lovely wines.
  • Dirk Quinn will perform on stage from 10am to 1pm.

So many of our producers have great seasonal foods this week.  You can read about them in the section below.

 

If you like to take photos at the market, we'd love to have you share them with us on Instagram!  Just use the hashtag #phoenixvillefarmersmarket.

 

This week we will welcome market shopper and lifestyle coach Michael Olesky who will have information about  improving health by making lifestyle changes in exercise, diet and stress reduction.  You'll find his stand where the massage stand is usually located.  Massage is not coming this week because of the cool temperatures.  

 

See you at the Market!
