Doylestown Farmers Market 2020 Season Opening Day

This 2020 season, the Doylestown Farmers Market celebrates its 45th year of operation, and its 4th year as a subsidiary of the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance. As a local, producers-only market we are proud to connect customers with their local farmers and artisans. Thirty five (and counting) vendors will be rotating weekly through the market, 68% of whom are female owned or co-owned business.

Opening day begins at 8 a.m. on April 18 and the market will operate every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through November 21, except for September 12.

Weekly festivities include live music, various tasting events and free programs. Special 45th Anniversary merchandise will be available for sale at the Foodshed Market tent. Our Earth Day celebration, on April 25, will feature a Make-Your-Own T-shirt Bag program, where market volunteers will be on hand to sew your t-shirts into a reusable produce bag. Our 3rd Annual Oktoberfest on September 19 will celebrate all things fun, delicious and German with polka tunes from Back Porch Jug Band. We look forward to seeing our four-legged customers as well! The market is always family-welcoming and dog-friendly!
