That’s right, there’s nothing genetically modified at the PP FM! Everything at Pretzel Park is au naturel! In fact it’s only a recent court order that forced our Park volunteers to start wearing clothing at the Market! (Well, that and a vicious horsefly swarm from the Fairmount section one Saturday. But I digress.) This week we got farmers, including fresh beef for you non-vegans, bread, cookies, bouquets, embroidery, art, handcrafted soy candles, and all natural soap. See, told ya we were natural!
We’ve always felt that our market’s location — in Pretzel Park which includes a playground and dog run — has contributed to making the market kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and family-friendly.
We’re also convenient to public transportation: SEPTA Routes: 35, 61, Manayunk-Norristown Regional Rail (Manayunk Line) Map here
