The warmer weather this week will bring on new growth and ripening (strawberries are coming...next week we hope!), but our farmers are also wishing for some rain!
If you're working on gardens at home, our growers still have lots of healthy plants to help fill your beds. If you don't have time or space for a full garden, growing fresh herbs in pots or beds is easy...and so delicious!
Check out our lineup of local goodness below for this Friday's market at The Creamery. We look forward to seeing you then!

Notes for 5/21:
- Canter Hill is back this week!
- We're sorry that Brandywine Valley Bread will not be at market, but all is well with them! Visit their Downingtown bakery Thurs–Sun / 8am–2pm.
- Remember: If you're planning to shop then enjoy the The Creamery (open at 5pm on Fridays), pack a cooler with ice to keep eveyrthing fresh!
