How time has flown and history has shaped America’s oldest continually-operating open-air farmers’ market over the 273 years of its existence. From covered wagons full of produce to cooled box trucks full of produce, we admire the aspects that remain the same while others adjust to the current times and trends. As we’ve seen the...
Happy Fourth of July! Here’s hoping you’re spending the day celebrating with family and friends, reflecting on our shared values, and dreaming and plotting all of the delicious local finds you’ll scoop up at the market tomorrow.

With a heatwave behind us, we’re ready to take a breather from the hot & stagnant air, and take in the fresh riverfront breeze while we celebrate the official start of the Summer season. The hot temperatures and Spring rains have made the market burst with all the colors and flavors of summer: from sunflowers...
Where would we bee without our pollinators? Our dinner plates would be a lot less full and there would be a lot less flowers, to put it lightly. Every day, these miniature and mighty warriors buzz, flutter, and jump from flower to pollen-filled flower performing the essential act of pollination. Did you know that 85%...
As you experience the beauty of the riverfront and the vibrancy of the market, take a moment to recognize Juneteenth and its importance in our everyday lives – in the opinions we share, the empathy we feel, the relationships we form and how we interact and grow, as a community, and a country. Markets at their core...

…but not this weekend! After a week of chilly, damp weather the good news is that this Saturday looks dry and Memorial Day is shaping up to be a beauty with sun in the forecast and temps in the 70s! Now is your chance to clean off the grill, perfect that salad dressing recipe, and...
It’s been a great week to be a plant! With this week’s rain, the greens have been growing and glowing… and so have the weeds.

The Delaware and Lehigh rivers were breaking the banks, encroaching upon the pedestrian paths and flooding the boat ramps. All...
With the weather lining up perfectly for a stellar market day, we’d like to give a special sunny shoutout to all the mothers, grandmothers, dog moms, and special women who make the world go ’round. Not to mention the hard work of caregiving, empathizing, sharing, working, making, baking, growing, creating, and best of all, loving....
