This week we gots farmers, drums, mushrooms, bread, Shea-based Hair & Body Oils, hand crafted, small batch (4oz), Soy candles, cat and dog services, and an end of summer grand finale of farmers banging drums with chicken legs and baguettes! Seriously. Really! Farmers banging drums with chicken legs and baguettes. Come, you’ll see!
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
