Booths Corner Farmers Market

Booths Corner has been in my bookmarks for a while and I was finally able to check it out. We parked in their lot and went into entrance number 5. The place was larger than it looks from the outside. It’s like a mini Reading Terminal Market.
We walked around checking out different vendors, went to the lower level and in the back. Some of the stores looked unkempt and in some areas of the market looked like a fire hazard. The places to eat were sort of the same; burger places, diners a couple Korean style places. We ate at the Grecian Delights (reviewed that one). We were there for about an hour and I really didn’t see anything that would want to make me come back. They did have a decent Amish meat vendor, but I can just go to the New Castle Farmers Market for that.

There’s just something special to me about Booth’s Corner. When I moved to DE from NYC with my then fiancée, it was the first place she took me to and I was hooked from the start.

I dig this place primarily for Cajun Kate’s. It’s layout is a somewhat strange menagerie of stands of all types. As I mentioned, the anchor for me is Cajun Kate’s. You can read my review on Unilocal.It’s easily the best New Orleans cuisine around. The more popular stands are Amish and food stands. There are plenty of places to eat. Plenty of places to take food home to prepare or already prepared foods to take home to eat. Then there’s the places that sell stuff: records, tee shirts, swords, coins, junk etc. It’s worth a walk through to check out. As many others mention, it’s an indoor flea market as well.
Is it the Reading Terminal? No — but for us folks out in the burbs it’s a good place to stop on a Friday or Saturday. I like the Ardmore Market better overall and its open all week.

You «MUST» go to Booth’s Corner… you «WILL» be addicted! MANY stores. LOTS of food due to the Amish and other food vendors. Everything from soup to nuts! There are also many non-​food vendors here, and places where you can grab a bite to eat. This place is all indoor shopping and is a good size. Lots of entry/​exit points (all wheelchair accessible), bathrooms, and parking. Guaranteed you’ll be back. Check out their site here:

Great little place to go too. They have great food stands and they have a great selection of meats, vegetables and fruits. The people that work here are mostly Amish and they are always so nice and sweet to talk too.

It’s not nearly as big as the New Castle Farmers Market, and there’s a guy selling Swastika Flags in the basement :-\. But the food stalls are significantly better than New Castle. Try the teriyaki beef jerky, it’s really good. The pad Thai is great too. You can buy frozen meals as well as fresh prepared goods. Fresh meats, pastries, pirogi, sausages & stuffed peppers, and most of the items are worth the slight markup from supermarket prices. Worth a Saturday trip for sure if you don’t mind crowds.

Love this place. I have been going there for 35 years. There’s something there for everyone.
Fried mushrooms are the best — vendor is at the far right/​top floor, across from a baked goods stand.
And don’t leave without a bag of roasted peanuts.
Lower floor is like an indoor flea market.

This is a great farmer’s market. Great mom & pop shops as well. Awesome, unique shops and places to eat great food.

How I could I not know about this place? Extremely high ratio of food stands to other places. Just what I look for in a farmers market (or a mall or city)! Very good taco, donut, fresh OJ, and chair massage today.
Roast beef sandwich, pizza, caramel corn, Cajun, gyro and more on deck.
Oh yeah … the place is really clean and clearly has a lot of merchants who have been there for many years.

i love it! The bakery with pies all the way at one end and the meats at the other end. It was a fun experience will definitely be back… wish we had one next to us! Miley friendly. Stroller able but a bit tight. Didn’t try the other stores hope to try them next time. Make sure to bring a cooler ahhahahaha and ice!

Very cool place. Lots of food options. Donuts galore. Fresh produce. Massimo’s pizza. This is my first visit so I still have a lot to see. Massimo’s will be getting 5 stars as well!

My absolute favorite place! The food is always so fresh! You can do all your grocery shopping here. They have great little shops to do some shopping in and there are so many options to stop and eat. Definitely an all time favorite!

Overall, one of the best indoor farmer’s markets I’ve ever been to. Their shops are OK but we come here for the food. Everything is nicely priced and homemade. I would suggest the Amish sausage stands and the Amish bakery. I spent nearly $ 30 just on handmade sausage.
I wish they had better hours. Only being open on Fri/​Sat kind of sucks for people who don’t have a normal schedule like me.

This Farmers Market gets 5 stars simply because of the sheer number of options present here. You’ve got your hand-​made chocolates, locally raised meats, nuts, candles, phone cases, desserts, etc. You name it, they probably have it. And most places take credit cards now, so you don’t have to panic if you don’t have cash.
The parking lot is huge, which is should be, because there are always 1 290 831 029 831 people here.
Love it!

I loved coming here as a kid and still stop by when I’m in the area. I love shopping around and eating at all the different places. For the most part I come here for the food and window shop unless i find a good deal on something I could use.

A neat large indoor year-​round farmers market. Only open Friday’s and Saturdays. Lots of pre-​cooked Mennonite food. Lots of mini-​eateries from Asian to Mexican to American diners.
Fun to browse and you can find some good deals on food. My favorite is chicken wings and ribs. I don’t recall the name of the booth but they always have a line and you need to get a number to get served.
The reason for four starts is to watch out for stuff Mennonites sell that they did not grow. I saw lots of fruit that the as completely out of season/​does not grow weary n Pennsylvania, for example oranges. They were sold at the farmers market for twice the cost of a regular grocery store and surprisingly enough people were buying them. It just gave out the locally grown organic vibe I guess which was completely unfounded.

Such an amazing place to see! I’m visiting from out of state and when one wants to go to a farmers market, this is the place to go! So many sights and nifty little finds. Just walking by the numerous bakeries I think I gained ten pounds by simply smelling the sugar. Things there are inexpensive and most importantly fresh. Loved the experience and could see myself visiting this place again.

The Reading Terminal Market comes to Boothwyn? Not quite, but nonetheless a quaint, change of pace shopping outlet. Many unique food shops with a variety of offerings that are not as easy to find or nonexistent at your traditional supermarket. In addition, you can find clothing, coins, baseball cards and much more.
We usually come here on a dreary Saturday morning to compliment our grocery shopping. A normal loot for my family would include a sampling of the following: a rack of baby back ribs, a jar of apple butter, maple glazed bacon, fresh Swiss cheese cubes and donuts.
If the kids are behaving we very well may «donate» $ 2 or so to the small arcade located in the underbelly of this older establishment. There is also a good chance that we paid a visit to the fried veggies stand.
Parking here can be an adventure of itself. Also takes a unique skill and extraordinary patience to be able to navigate the halls pushing a shopping cart with two kids and a shop wandering wife. Shopping carts could also use a nice hose down every once in a while as well.
Give this neat farmer’s market a spin!

Our family have been going to Booth’s Corner since I was very young growing up in Claymont, Delaware. The Farmer’s Market was one of the first places where I met the Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) They sold the best homemade potato chips that I’ve ever tasted. The Flea market/​carnival atmosphere with live local musician performances added to its charm and embellished a very pleasurable family –oriented outing.

Booths is a fantastic little place. It has almost everything you could possibly need (for cheap!). I often get bacon and lunchmeat from the stand at the far side of the building. It’s high quality, affordable meat. The baked goods are awesome. There is also a stand with Polish goods. I’ve gotten a few dozen pierogies here and they are much better than Mrs. T’s (duh!). The crabcake stand is solid, as well as the cinnamon roll stand.

We love Booth’s Corner… Basically an indoor flea/farmer’s market with lots of good stuff to look at, buy, and eat! The kids love the pet store cause they always have cute puppies for sale, and sometimes kittens too. My all time fave is the Grecian Delights place — they just have the most amazing spreads and dips EVER! The meat and produce stands and bakeries are brimming with good stuff.
Most often, we go for dinner or to buy some goodies, but once in a while we do some shopping — there is a guy that sells cell phone covers — he has a ton of them and they are usually priced pretty nicely. Sometimes we hit the shoe store, and there is a wonderful furniture place there but unfortunately I can never afford to buy anything there!
One thing to note — Booth’s Corner is only open on Fridays and Saturdays so the place is always, always packed! It’s a very popular place — you should check it out!

We stopped at booths corner after our real estate agent told us to check it out. After pulling up to a large warehouse looking building, we were surprised to find all the delights inside.
It’s very convenient to find anything from fresh pretzels, bakery items, cider, fruits, veggies and meats all in one place.
Some of the finds are great deals whiles others are not but definitely worth a drop by!

It’s hard to explain… This place is just amazing! It’s like an Amish farmers market and a flea market had a baby. I love it hear!

This giant jewel is hidden beneath a fairly ugly façade, but what lies inside is worth a closer look. There are produce stations, amazing meat from the finest Amish farmers in the land, and wares from shoes to flowers to antiques to jewelry. It’s a hodge podge without question, but once you get into the swing of things, you see a method in the madness. Though the hours make regular shopping a little weird, I’ve gotten accustomed to making a special Friday trip to make my rounds.
I ALWAYS make sure to get center cut pepper bacon, herb & garlic cream cheese, and a sandwich at Albie’s. However, you could very feasibly walk out with a disco ball, fried vegetables, nail polish, a tutu, and a dozen inflated helium balloons.
It’s sometimes tough to walk through the aisles when you have a cart, but if you’re making a big haul, it’s worth the trouble to not tote a basket around. Definitely make a stop in the discount bread shop, and the hot dogs wrapped in pretzel (NOT Auntie Anne’s, the one in the back, though I don’t know the name). The rotisserie chickens and rib station is unstoppable, and right next to it you can get the best fresh squeezed orange juice I’ve ever tasted.
I know this is vague and nonsensical sounding, but it’s really difficult to describe this maze-​like market. Just make the trip for yourself, and you won’t be disappointed.
