Hello Market Shoppers!
Flowers, shrubs, trees, herbs & veggie plants at market this week!
We expect a break from the rain on Saturday,hurray! The soggy weather has made the ground perfect for planting, and we will have lots of plants at market this week.  Jacks Farm will have veggies and herbs, Yellow Springs Farm will have native plants, shrubs and trees, and Huyard Farm will be back with their hanging baskets, planters and bedding plants. If you are looking for a way to help your plants thrive, stop by Brandywine Biochar. 

Our farmers and food artisans will be bringing a great selection of their local food.  Take a look at the list below so you don't miss any goodies!

At 11am, there will be a wellness trail walk led by physical therapist Jason Elvis as part of Activate Phoenixville Area's Prescribe-a-Trail.  You can shop and then walk or walk and then shop!

On stage this week we will feature TWO bands!  They are students at Rock and Roll After School and they are terrific! 

Do you love the market and Vera Pasta?  If so, they have a job for you!  Joe D'Andrea, pasta maker extraodinaire, is looking for a helper to run his stand at the market on Saturdays.  If you are interested, you can email him at jdandrea@verapasta.com.


See you at the Market!

WEEKLY PROVIDERS:
---------------------------------------------

Artisan's Gallery & Cafe
Our cold brewing method is unique since it uses time - rather than heat - to extract flavor from the beans. The coffee is slow-steeped at room temperature to extract the delicious, naturally sweet flavor from the beans. A variety of 6 oz. bag of One Village Coffee beans gives you the opportunity to experience one or two new blends, such as  OV "Smart Blend" heavy bodied coffee with flavors of ripe berries, cocoa and spice.

We welcome Brandywine Biochar to the market this week!  They bake local waste wood inside a kiln that converts the wood into its pure carbon form and inoculate the biochar, taking advantage of its porous physical characteristics that make it an exceptional habitat for beneficial micro-organisms, water, and nutrients.  Your plants will love it!
