Many opportunities to buy fresh and local

In the last posting, I shared some outdoor night time music activities. Some of them allow you to bring outside food and beverage.

How best to prepare for these concerts than with some fresh and local goods?

Peak summer produce is becoming available. Add meats, cheeses, wines, beers, flowers, arts and crafts, and you have the making of some of the finest local farmers' and artisans' markets.


The Farmers Market at Great Valley

Come out and support your new community market. We have a great line up of growers and producers.
The Market's favorite market musician, singer, and songwriter, Chris Adams, plays beautiful classical guitar, sings songs old and new, favorites and originals. Kids love to sing with Chris, always a new song about a fruit or vegetable up his sleeve.

The East Goshen Farmers' Market Committee has taken great care to select the finest vendors for our market.
