As avid vegetable gardeners, they offer their knowledge and experience to help you choose the best edible varieties for your unique situation.
For this week’s market, Liberty Plants will bring a variety of live plants.  There will be herbs, sunflowers, and vegetable planters.  Back by popular demand are more lettuce bowls and greens bowls.  There will also be a selection of cut flowers.

Manayunk Farm is an urban farm in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia started by Wynn Geary and his parents Lori and Addison in 2012. They have a small garden, a few fruit trees, chickens and beehives in their backyard. They have been featured on NPR and in Grid magazine for their work in the field of technologically advanced beekeeping.

Joe Tayoun Drum Circle at 10am to 2pm.
A selection of drums from around the World will be provided, on a first come – first served basis (The “dibs” system prevails). Picture a pickup truck full of drums… that many. If you prefer you’re own, we insist you bring them. And bring your other one for someone else to use.

The Drum Circle will be back every third Saturday of the month.
