Operated by the Lower Merion Farmers Market organization, both the Bala Cynwyd and Bryn Mawr Farmers’ Markets provide the Main Line with locally sourced food and drink. “Lower Merion Farmers Market’s mission is to unite communities, families, and farmers year-round through good, locally produced food,” says market leadership Brian Fenstermaker.
At One Bala Plaza, the Bala Cynwyd Farmers Market features vendors like Autuna Venezuelan Food, Sunny Acres Farm and Saint Rocco’s Dog Treats. At the Bryn Mawr market, residents can sample honey from local apiary, New-Bee Ranch. Owned by Rachel Newby, the business sells raw honey, honeycomb and beeswax product. “We manage multiple apiary locations in western Montco, and keep each apiary’s honey separate, to celebrate the different notes and terroirs from each site,” says Newby. According to her, the market has helped New-Bee Ranch build relationships with both loyal customers and the Bryn Mawr community as a whole.
The Bryn Mawr Farmer’s Market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. year-round, while the Bala Cynwyd Market is open Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. until October 7. To learn more about either market, visit this link: LOWER MERION FARMERS MARKETS.

The Flourtown Farmers Market at 1800 Bethlehem Pike isn’t a typical market; it’s a mini-Reading Terminal! The building has 14 food vendors, most of which serve meals and prepared foods. “Each vendor has its own identity and customer base, but together they create a destination where people can come for a meal, pick up food for their family … grab a coffee, or shop for specialty foods,” said owners Sal Lentini and Tom DiEnna.
One of those vendors is Lydia’s K-Food, which serves authentic Korean recipes. “Being a vendor at Flourtown Farmers Market means belonging to a family of vendors,” said shop owner Lydia Kim. “We support one another and celebrate together each person’s success.” The market is open from Thursday through Saturday.

The Horsham Farmer’s Market, located at the Horsham Library on Babylon Road, is a hot destination for local goods. The market is open every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and features over 40 vendors. Food and drink vendors line the streets outside, while crafts like jewelry, clothing and children’s toys can be found inside the library.
One of the businesses is Aunt Verlea’s Poundcake Experience, a home bakery which sells poundcakes, sweet potato pies and other treats. According to employees at Aunt Verlea’s, they are always busy making something for a pop-up store, catered event or farmers’ market. “As soon as we leave here, we’re getting back in the kitchen,” said Ramona Mercer, owner and head baker of Aunt Verlea’s.
Parking is located outside the library, but due to crowds, visitors should consider parking in the nearby Horsham Elementary or High School lots instead. For more information, visit Horsham Farmer’s Market – Horsham Township, PA.
Lansdale

“People are used to seeing what they see in grocery stores,” says Steve Jennings, owner of Lansdale Farmers’ Market, but that way of thinking doesn’t apply to this market. Located on 147 Church Rd, the Lansdale Farmers’ Market offers seasonal produce from a rotating spread of over 30 local vendors. The market prioritizes food as its main products, and customers can find farm-grown produce, locally mixed sauces and prepared meals.
According to Jennings, some vendors source their ingredients from other vendors in the market. For example, Bowlface, a sauce and dip business, uses corn from Mickley’s Orchard, another Lansdale vendor, to make its signature corn dip. The market is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more details, visit the market’s web page here: Home | Lansdale Farmers ‘ Market | Montgomery County | United States.

At 100 E High St, customers can purchase food and artisan crafts from over 20 vendors at the Pottstown Farm and Artisan Regional Market (FARM). Highlighted vendors include Aunt Tara’s Skin Food, a skincare business, and Cruz Family Little Farm, which sells authentic salsas and Mexican teas.
According to the market’s website (Pottstown FARM – Farm & Artisan Regional Market), the Pottstown FARM is deeply embedded within its community. The market participates in Operation 143, a food donation program, and features a Two Bite Club program, which offers free, weekly food samples to children 12 and under. The FARM also regularly hosts themed market days, like the upcoming Zucchini Festival and Races on September 19. The market is open every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon until October.
Royersford

Located at 251 Second Ave, the Royersford Farmers Market is open May through September and offers treats for both people and their pets. Though popular, the market is a relatively new addition to the community. “The market began because residents repeatedly expressed that they wanted a farmers’ market in Royersford,” said one of the market’s board members, Lauren Krauss. “In February 2023, about 50 residents came together to turn that idea into a plan. From there, we created committees focused on logistics, community outreach, funding, marketing, and vendor policies.”
Since 2023, the Royersford Farmers Market has grown to include over 16 vendors like Guevin’s Fair View Farm and Peach Buggy Brewing. The organization also features themed sales for Halloween and a holiday market in December. View the website here for more information: Royersford Farmers Market: Fresh Local Finds Every Saturday.
Upper Perkiomen Valley

The Upper Perkiomen Valley Farmers Market brings together farmers, restaurants and bakeries from across north Montgomery County. The market is held at Cedar Hollow Farm, a family-owned poultry and egg farm in Pennsburg. Some of the market’s most popular vendors include Casa de Hongos, a mushroom grocer, and Guldin Acres, LLC, a family-owned beef farm.
“These aren’t anonymous products that arrived on a truck from somewhere across the country. There are families behind these tables,” says Donna Olson, who runs the Farmers Market. “There are farms, gardens, cattle, beehives, mushroom-growing operations, kitchens and a tremendous amount of hard work behind what you see on market day.”
The market is open twice a month every other Thursday, with the next date being September 10 from 4 to 7 p.m. A schedule can be found on the Facebook page here: Facebook.
