9am to 1pm
Hello Market Shoppers!
We will have a perfect fall day for tomorrow's market and a great lineup as well.

It is the 4th Saturday of the month and Neil's Sharpening will be here.  Bring those dull knives and clippers and have them sharpened while you shop! 

If you haven't walked the new section of the Schuylkill RIver Trail, we invite you to do so tomorrow at 11am at the first of a series of Prescribe-a-trail walks!  The walk will start at the iron bridge by the Foundry and be led by Dr. Dana Burkholder of Phoenix Family Medicine and Charlene Burkholder, Director of Orthopedic Service Line at Phoenixville Hospital.  We hope you'll shop at the market and then join us as we learn about the benefits of exercise while doing it! 

Last week, several shoppers asked when we close for the season.  The answer?  We really don't!!  We will be open every Saturday until Christmas.  After Thanksgiving, we shorten our hours to 10am to noon, but we still have the same great vendors PLUS artists every weekend. During the months of January through April, we will be open from 10am to noon on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month. 

We know that parking can get tight in the municipal lot nearest the market and want you to know that there is free parking in the Borough Hall lot at 351 Bridge Street on the side furthest from the market.  It is  very pleasant to walk the short section along the trail to the market from the lot!  There is also 2 hour parking along Main Street, Mill Street and Bridge Street so be sure to check those options out too!

 
See you at the Market!

Birchrun Hill's Farm

Cheese is the perfect fall snack - I found myself cutting up some pieces to have for breakfast with a swish of apple butter and my coffee on more than one occasion this past week!

We will be bringing veal bones again so please plan ahead - -
I am including the easy veal broth recipe by Michael Ruhlman  here, which truly does make it easy to prepare our own healthy healing bone broths!

Deep Roots Valley Farm

The cold snap at the beginning of the week has seen a huge drop in our egg production.  We had been getting about 40 dozen/day and the last three days have been around 25 dozen/day.  Unfortunately this means we will sell out early this weekend.  Sorry to disappoint our loyal customers, thanks for understanding!

Flour Fairies
New this week: We love getting to know the canine customers who visit our stand each week. This Saturday our furry friends can get their own special Flour Fairies treat too! Pick up scones, doughnuts, or cookies for yourself and grab some all natural dog biscuits for your BFF (Best Furry Friend)!
