PA Dutch Farmer’s Market of Wyomissing

Fresh fruits and vegetables make up much of the market, including organic produce for shoppers who want it. A meats stand handles that side of the counter. Between the produce and the meat, this is a place to do real grocery shopping rather than pick up a single item, and the organic selection narrows the gap for anyone who normally has to go to a specialty store for it.

The market also sells baked goods, pretzels, and salads, along with barbecue and gourmet coffee. These are the items to reach for if you want something ready to eat instead of ingredients to cook. The barbecue and coffee in particular suit a quick meal during a market trip, while the baked goods and pretzels travel well if you are buying for later.

Payment is by cash or check. There's no card reader noted, so bring one or the other rather than relying on plastic. Hours aren't listed here, so call ahead before driving out if you're coming any distance, particularly for the prepared foods, which may not be set out all day.
