The Saucon Valley Farmers Market concluded another successful season just before Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean the market’s mission to support local producers has ended. Many of the vendors who are part of the Hellertown farmers market sell their products year-round, which is why the market has compiled the following list of places where you can find them for the holidays.
If you don’t see your favorite vendor listed, visit their website and/or social media platforms, or contact them directly for further information about the year-round availability of their products.
The 2024 Saucon Valley Farmers Market will open in early May. The market features several dozen local vendors as well as artisans and is open Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. next to the Hellertown Area Library, 409 Constitution Ave., Hellertown, Pa.
