Welcome to the Wrightstown Farmers' Market! We are a local producer-only market launched in Sept. 2006 and sponsored by the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance. We promote sustainable farming practices such as organic vegetable, flower and fruit production and pastured, naturally raised animal products free of antibiotics or hormones.
The market's more than 25 vendors offer: seasonal, freshly harvested vegetables, herbs, flowers; preserved products; pastured beef, chicken, duck, turkey, lamb and pork; pastured, free range eggs; organic yogurt and cheeses; artisanal breads and homemade baked goods; handmade soaps and lotions; raw honey and beeswax candles; Italian gravies & tomato pies; locally grown and handmade fiber products; raw, organic vegetable chips; organic, fair trade, locally roasted coffees; organic, freshly ground nut butters; prepared foods and locally handcrafted goods.
The market also features guest chefs from local restaurants and caterers providing cooking demonstrations using seasonal, locally grown vegetables, herbs and other products available at the market. Come sharpen your eat-local skills!
