Farmers Market Finds for Sept. 1

Check out our farmers market feature every week for a list of what you will find at the Media and Edgmont farmers markets. Both markets are on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m.

You can never know everything that you'll find at the farmers market ahead of time. This week, a new vendor will offer handmade soaps and lotions. Look forward to Market Day Canele's pastries and tarts and Jack's jams and jellies. If you look for Burlap and Bean's Coffee, you will be disappointed; they have finished for the season. Instead, stop by the Edgmont Farmers Market and try some organic coffee.
