find farmers' markets and CSAs in Philadelphia
Greensgrow Farms certainly has the right idea in this crazy cold winter we are experiencing — their winter market is in a heated greenhouse. Sounds toasty, no? The Greensgrow Farms Winter Farmstand will be open this Saturday, January 22, from 10am until 2pm. The market will have fresh produce (including lemons grown in their greenhouses!!), [...]
Kimberton Whole Foods has been serving the Chester County area for almost 25 years. From their humble beginnings selling Seven Stars Yogurt across from the Kimberton Waldorf School to their current expansion to four stores serving the Greater Philadelphia area, Terry and Pat Brett have maintained their commitment to the promotion of locally-grown, primarily organic [...]
Freddy Hill Farms is a dairy located in Kulpsville, Montgomery County. They have a wonderful dairy, where they sell their own milk and ice cream. The ice cream sold at the counter is sold by the ounce, so you can have as little or as much as you want. It’s a lovely family farm, and if you [...]
Merrymead Farm is located in Lansdale, Montgomery County. It’s been years since I’ve been to Merrymead, but this is a lovely spot to stop and visit. There are all kinds of seasonal activities for the family, and if you visit between 3pm and 6pm, you can see the cows being milked — a great opportunity [...]

Rather than ordering through the buying club, I prefer to save the 18% fee and drive right out to the farm and get my food directly. There’s just something [...]
Glenside Farmers Market is located in, you guessed it, Glenside, Montgomery County. It’s farmers market and pick your own fruit season here in the Philadelphia area, and I’m so thrilled! It’s also vegetable gardening season and we’re well on our way to a great one here at our house. If you’re not into getting your [...]
Wholesome Dairy Farms in Douglassville, Berks County, specializes in raw milk and beef (both from their pasture grazed Ayrshire cows.) They also sell homemade yogurt and cheese. I love driving down the narrow, winding road to this farm and seeing the cows contentedly grazing on acres of fresh green grass. I travel to Wholesome Dairy [...]
I discovered the West Chester Grower’s Market last summer. Every Saturday morning, local farmers from as far away as Lancaster County converge in a parking lot in hip and trendy downtown West Chester, Chester County. Vendors include a wide variety of wares from organic grass fed meats and cheeses to raw milk to produce to [...]
The Kolb’s Farm Store in Spring City, Chester County, was another one of my first discoveries when we moved to this area. Family owned and operated since 1975, they sell their own fresh milk without growth hormones that is produced right there on the farm. And they make some of the yummiest chocolate milk you [...]
