Lansdale Farmers’ Market

The market has moved down 63 this year which makes it more visible but as it is no longer in downtown Lansdale my wife and I are a little let down because we use to just park once and do all our errands.
THAT having been said we love this place and find our selves there most weekends when we don’t have something going on. Some places selling their wines or spreads are there all the time and others come and go but it is great fun to walk around and
get ideas for what I can cook.
You see what is in season and see it progress over the months the market is open.
Particular favorites on mine are the guys from Key and Stone wineries– try their cider– and the ice coffee

Great farmers market right next to the train station! There was a great variety of booths, from bakeries to vegetables, there was a guacamole stand and an awesome pound cake stand with tons of yummy samples. I got some homemade chocolate almond butter ($ 8 for 16 oz) and there was fresh peanutbutter as well, and I got a jar of apple butter for $ 5. There were also a few meat and cheese tables in addition to wine, beer, and mushroom booths. There were also some jewelry and soap stands, and wood carving. Overall it’s a fun place to stop and try out some new things that are home made and support the local community! Can’t wait to go back!

I found it to be a great experience. They even had a band playing when I was there last year. I found great baked goods — bread, cookies and pastries. All kinds of produce, coffee, specialty foods, plants and stuff to chow down for lunch! I can’t wait to go again with friends.

I’ve been here a few times and there have always been a decent amount of vendors with a wide variety. Last time I was there I remember a guacamole stand, all sorts of vegetables, fruits and plants, meats and eggs, cheese, honey, wine, wild mushrooms, nuts, tons of pastries, and possibly a stand selling a mexican dish to eat while you are there (My last visit was last summer, so my memory is foggy). The prices on many things were a big hefty, but I’m used to farmers markets at my small town, rural college where a dozen farm fresh eggs is less than $ 1.50… Lansdale was selling them for about $ 4. I was a bit disappointed in that, but I guess the cost of living is higher. I did find some nice succulents and herbs for a steal, so not everything is expensive. It takes about half an hour to walk around, assuming you browse and chat, so this might be a good after-​brunch stop to get some fresh air (or go get a pastry for breakfast!). Park across the street in the lot near the train tracks… there’s plenty of parking!
You’re going to be paying higher prices than if you went to Wal Mart, but overall I think it’s worth it to support local agriculture and farmers– not to mention the improved taste

The Lansdale Farmer’s Market is a seasonal (mid May to early November) outdoor market open Saturday’s only in downtown Lansdale. As other reviewers have noted, it has been a work in progress but by now (June 2013) it has evolved into a stable marketplace with a wide variety of vendors. Fresh produce is the predominant offering as one would expect with the type and quantity of offerings changing as the growing/​harvest seasons advance through the year. The market also offers meats, cheeses, wine, baked goods, olive oil, maple syrup, spices, fair trade coffee, prepared foods and nursery stock. Notable vendors include Tabora Orchard, Windy Springs Farm and the Mushroom Guy. Hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, rain or shine. The only down side is that not every vendor is there every week so it can happen that you expect to buy something and get there and find your favorite vendor is missing that week.

Excellent small town farmers market. There are a decent number of vendors, selling a pretty wide variety of products — including a wide selection of fresh produce, baked goods, and live plants, as well as a number of more specialized vendors with some one-​off products. I can’t say I’ve been disappointed with anything I’ve bought here either, definitely some quality vendors. The event is well organized, and the central location makes it easy to get to by train, bus, car, bike, or on foot.
Not all the vendors take credit cards, which is a bit baffling in 2012, so have cash on hand. I also wish it lasted longer, by 12:30 it already starts closing down, so you really have to get there early to make the most of it. Despite these minor complaints though, I love going even just to walk around and take it all in when I can get a free Saturday morning to do so. And sometimes I’ll even buy something too :-P

Love this market! Fresh foods like frozen pasta, organic meats, maple syrup, cakes, pies, bread as well as wonderful veggies. Also this year live entertainment and home made crafts.

Love it! Fresh produce, beautiful plants, hot tamales, poundcake samples, handmade breads and sweets, fun people and chilled-​out live music make this a Saturday morning staple. Smiley face cookies are a must!

I notice that a lot of the reviews for the Lansdale Farmer’s Market are from 2011 and earlier — I think it’s important that people know that Lansdale is a work-​in-​progress in general, but this farmer’s market is well ahead of the curve and leading things in the right direction. I think it’s a quintessential representation of what you’d expect at a quality, small town farmer’s market.
I found the variety of produce, plants, baked goods, and other edible and non-​edible items to be awesome. They have a lot of booths and most seem to be local farmers/​business owners. There isn’t a lot of filler — just consistent booth after booth of fresh items and plenty of free samples. It was crowded when we went, but there was enough room for walking around and stopping to speak with the vendors. I don’t think you’d need to spend more than an hour there, but it’s fun to stop by on a Saturday morning, have a little jaunt around the space and maybe pick up some tasty baked goods or vegetables for the weekend.
Did I also mention that they have a wacky, wavy, inflatable, arm-​flailing tube man?! Because they do!

Fresh fresh fresh! Great granola, veggies, bakery, soaps, plants, jewelry and Cardinal Winery wine slushies! Breads smelled amazing. Too bad I’m gluten sensitive :(Oh yea, gorgeous cupcakes!

I love the Lansdale Farmers’ Market! There are so many different types of vendors, but my favorite are the bread vendors! They have so many different types of bread, some that are really unique, and sometimes they even give samples! The farmers’ market isn’t huge, but you could spend a good hour in there if you spent some time really looking at each vendor and what they have to offer.

Meh, I’ve experienced better.
I don’t know, I guess you have to be a native of the area to really love this over priced fair.

There’s about 20 vendors with a lot of different items ranging from coffee to produce to baked goods. Check it out on Saturday from 9am to 1pm near the Kugel Ball Park.
