Each Saturday from May through November, the Wrightstown Farmers Market hosts more than 30 local vendors who grow or produce their own products. The market specializes in local vegetables grown using organic practices and without genetic engineering and in meats and dairy products from animals grown locally in fresh air and sunshine on fertile pastures and without antibiotics, hormones or genetic engineering.

A winter market runs from December through April on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Vendors will move indoors on Dec. 11. Winter market hours will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The market is sponsored by the non-profit Bucks County Foodshed Alliance.
