First Day of Playwicki Farmer's Market

Much of Playwicki Farms importance lies in its evolution over time, with the overall history of the site combining to paint a picture of Bucks County from hundreds of years ago through today.  The "Farm Story" is such an important part of our heritage but is rapidly disappearing from the Lower Bucks area.  Playwicki Farm was once a thriving, working farm with a popular farm stand at the triangle on Bridgetown Pike.  Although produce is no longer grown at Playwicki Farm, we are pleased to offer you The Farmers Market at Playwicki Farm.  The atmosphere is casual, the open air commerce enticing, the goods fresh, and the result we hope will be remarkable.

 All the fruits and vegetables at the market are from local farms, grown in-season, in healthy soil, and picked ripe - giving us the best possible nutritional content, not to mention the best flavor. You will be buying produce that was picked just hours before your purchase.

 As a group, small family farms grow an incredibly varied mix of fruits and vegetables, contributing to an important and healthy genetic diversity in our food supply.  And this means more choices for those of us who like to eat!  At the market you'll find different types of lettuces, greens, berries, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, tree fruits, melons, squashes, and more.  Many of these delicious varieties are simply not available in regular grocery stores.
