Hello Market Shoppers!

This week is our LAST market before Thanksgiving and we will have all kinds of wonderful selections for your holiday cooking and entertaining. 

We hope that your Thanksgiving meal will be a little more special because you know the farmer or baker who made some of the food on your table.  How lucky we all are to know our farmers!  And how lucky the farmers are to meet the people who love their food.  They come to the market each Saturday to sell their products, and more importantly, to become part of our community.  It is a treasure we can all be thankful for!

Our farmers love the market so much they they come year-round! 

We will have holiday markets with farmers and artists every Saturday until Christmas. 
The hours are 10am to noon.


As a preview for the markets, this week Ruth Sitko, of Sitko Farms in Pottstown, will join us with her handmade wreaths!

Don't forget that there may be extra mouths to feed for the long weekend.  And why not bring your house guests to your market on Saturday November 30th?  We'd love to see them!


We wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

While at the market this weekend, stop by for a sample taste of our cold weather "Veggie Chili".  Made with the finest ingredients it takes the chill out of the air!  Artisans' hot cider comes directly from North Star Orchard every Saturday morning.  Steamed just before the market opens, it makes a great fall accompaniment with our hot chocolate, which is made with milk and Ghirardelli chocolate.  Both come in children's 8 oz size or a larger 12 oz size.
