Festivities set for farmers market opening on June 3
PERKASIE >> Perkasie’s award-winning Farmers Market will open for the season on June 3.
Opening festivities include a visit from the Bucks County Free Library Outreach Truck, games and giveaways and live music from Julia Melito.
Shoppers are invited to pick up a loyalty card and get it stamped at every visit. After six visits, cards are entered into a drawing for a grand prize donated by vendors and Perkasie’s local businesses.
The market will be open from 9 a.m. until noon every Saturday from June 3 until Oct. 28. Local farmers and producers bring an abundance of produce, plants, flowers, herbs, meats, microgreens, eggs, honey, mushrooms, cupcakes, preserves, baked goods, wines, spirits, kombucha and other foods, while local makers bring skin care and homemade craft items.
There will be a number of new vendors at the market this year, including Fork’d (perogies), Earth & Veil (mushrooms), Little Croft Farm (organic produce), Mega Greens (microgreens) and Philly Nuts and Wambold Dry Goods.
A full vendor list and schedule is available on the borough’s website. As always, the market offers a free community spot to local non-profits and civic groups each week.
“We have a busy schedule of events at the market this year,” said Linda Reid, the borough’s Community Development Manager. “Along with live music and family crafts or activities every week, we are planning for two Community Yard Sales, Fathers’ Day, Pride, July 4th and Christmas in July, our Dog Days event, Back to School, and we always close out the season by celebrating Trick or Treat on 7th St.”
Visitors to the market can also explore Perkasie’s town center, with stores and cafes offering brunch and shopping specials.
Residents and drivers are advised that parking will be prohibited on S. 7th St. from 7:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays from June 3 until Oct. 28. This section of S. 7th St. will be closed to traffic at these dates and times.
