Farmers’ Market to Include Several New Vendors

When the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market opens for its tenth season May 3, it will be in a new location, but will still include the producer-vendors local residents have come to rely on for fresh produce, meats, prepared foods and more.

This year the market will also welcome several new vendors, including:

  • John T. Hirsch Farms, a Bushkill Township farm that specializes in Pennsylvania-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers.

  • Moon Gate Farms, a Perkasie farm that sells all-natural, locally-grown produce. The farm is also a vendor at the Ottsville Farmers Market, which will be open Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m., April 24 through Oct. 9.
  • The Bob-B-Q Truck, which is described on its Facebook page as “a full-service, mobile gourmet kitchen dedicated to providing the Greater Lehigh Valley with the freshest and most delicious BBQ.” The truck specializes in barbecue sliders, and its menu also includes sides such as smokehouse baked beans, homemade cole slaw and specially-seasoned fries. The Express-Times recently published a story about the Bob-B-Q Truck.
  • This season the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market will be held on a grassy field next to the Hellertown Area Library on Constitution Avenue, across from Dimmick Park in Hellertown, due to a construction project at Water Street Park.

    The market–which features dozens of vendors selling everything from tomatoes to handcrafted soap to honey–will be open Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Nov. 22.

    Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market also frequently hosts special events and live entertainment.
