Season's First Blueberries, 2 New Vendors And Pollinator Day At Saturday's Wrightstown Farmers Market

Stock up on your Fourth of July picnic supplies and learn about pollinators and their importance to the food system this Saturday at the Wrightstown Farmers Market.

In addition to fresh, local foods, including the season's first blueberries, the market is planning activities for all ages to learn about pollinators.

And, to top it off, there are two new vendors this week, including Crossing Vineyards selling wine and Owen Moon Ceramics offering handmade pottery.

Pollinator Day activities include a live, hands-on Monarch butterfly tent for children provided by Ann Ward of Winged Wonders Education. Adults can learn from Penn State Master Gardener Roberta Turner how to plant carefree native plants to attract pollinators to our backyards.

There will also be a native plant raffle with donations from Gino's Landscaping.

The whole family can participate in developing the new Monarch Butterfly Way Station at the market that is being provided by Steve Severson of Outside the Box Landscaping.

The market is held weekly on Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Wrightstown Township Municipal Building parking lot, 2203 Second Street Pike.
