Collegeville Farmers' Market Christmas in July, Saturday, July 21

Our Cool Yule celebration will feature all the fresh local veggies and fruit that you can't come by in December, plus holiday fun and festive flavors like gingerbread, peppermint... and more. Plus, we'll be decking the "stalls" with holiday decorations and getting a huge jump on our Christmas shopping.

Frecon Farms will be rolling out their Early Man cider and helping to boost Christmas spirits. 

Christine and Company will be entertaining with their crowd-pleasing acoustic sound, and a few Christmas songs as well. To see a full list of our vendors, visit www.collegevillefarmersmarket.org.

Great ideas for entertaining are available at our market every week. These include: Yellow Springs Farms artisan goat cheese, Fat Head Peppers gourmet peppers, international treats like falafel and baba ganoush from Philading, fresh guacamole made onsite by Anita’s Guacamole, Fresh Apeel Hummus and more. Bendy Brook Farm provides free-range poultry and eggs and chemical-free, pastured, beef, pork and even goat.

So making a special healthy meal is easy…especially with the bounty of organically-raised local veggies from Down Home Acres and Longview Center for Agriculture, plus fresh fruit from Frecon Farms.

You can shop early for Christmas gifts like original clothing and jewelry designs by Kay Bryant, perennial plants and trees from Behmerwald Nursery and hand-crafted wood items and pens from Neil’s Sharpening Service. Neil will also sharpen your knives, scissors and garden tools while you wait.

And don’t forget your furry friends. Joe Paws Bakery has baked special holiday treats just for them.
