Wayne County Farmers Market: Honesdale, PA
Open Saturdays, mid May – October
9:00 am – 1:00 pm
The Wayne County Farmers’ Market is a weekly marketplace for farmers and producers throughout Northeastern PA and Southern NY to sell their produce and goods. The selection of vegetable changes with the seasons, but here is always a wide variety of locally produced household items, baked goods and decorative items.
In the Spring look for radishes, onions, crisp lettuce, salad greens, dark leafy greens, bedding plants, trees, shrubs and more. The Summer holds a bountiful harvest of berries, broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, peas, beans, tomatoes in many colors, shapes and sizes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, sweet corn, cantaloupe, watermelon and a variety of herbs. If you’re into canning for Winter just ask one of our farmers about a larger order.
When the leaves start to color in the Fall we’ll have plenty of apples, pears, root vegetables, leeks, winter squash, cabbage, turnips, Brussels sprouts, and pumpkins.
Our goal is to help the residents of Wayne County eat locally and participate in a local economy. There’s no better peace of mind about our food than to know the farmer who grew it. The practice of eating locally is an easy, positive step toward a sustainable future and a cleaner, safer environment. By participating in your local economy your dollars stay in the community and go directly to the farmer or producer. also many of our Farm vendors accept WIC Farmers’ Market checks.
Our market brings together farmers and consumers to share ideas and talk about what’s on their mind. If you have questions about your garden or flower bed feel free to ask us.
Farmers’ Markets have traditionally brought people together in a fun family oriented atmosphere. There’s always something going on and plenty of sights and sounds to fill your senses. We’ll have food samples and lots of entertainment for the kids and the young at heart.
Stop by weekly to see local musicians and performers. On flute we have our own Hedy Kunstmann, and singer, songwriter Janet Burgan, plus many more. We are also always on the lockout for more local entertainers.
Our market would like to take things one step further this Summer; we plan to have farmer/producer demonstrations and hands on activities in an effort to encourage the sharing of information between producers and the community at large.
We hope you enjoy our market and make it a regular part of your weekly shopping for some of the best our region has to offer.
