At the Market, August 24th

Alright, this week we got Farmers, Farmers bearing gifts, (you know what they say about gifts from Farmers? You may not like it at first but it’ll grow on you!), jams, jellies, marmalades, mushrooms, bread, wine, crochet items, embroidery, shea based hair and body oils, (Aww, c’mon, that joke wasn’t that bad was it? Boy, tough room! Is this thing on?) hand crafted soy candles, beaded bangles and earrings, and beautiful woodwork.

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
