Plenty to Pick From at Saturday's Farmers' Market

It's high season for harvest, which means lots of diversity at the farmers' market this weekend.

The Wrightstown Farmers' Market, located on Second Street Pike by the Wrightstown Township Building, will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. rain or shine.

Robin Hoy, manager of the Wrightstown Farmers' Market, said she expects lots of fruits and vegetables to be available, including fresh garlic and onions, peaches, nectarines, pears, field peas, edamame beans, sweet green peppers, heirloom tomatoes, okra and potatoes.

There will also be sweet corn, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, berries, cucumbers, green beans, zucchini,  lettuces, summer squash, fennel, carrots, red beets, celery, scallions, Swiss chard and radishes.

Vendors will be selling more than just fresh-picked produce. There will be mushrooms, 100 percent grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, pork, eggs, goat cheeses, yogurt and butter, breads, baked goods, raw honey, maple syrup, fair-trade organic coffees and prepared foods.

Grab some fresh-picked flowers to add color to your home. Plus, there will be other non-food items like beeswax candles, handmade soaps, non-toxic bug spray, dog food and treats and handmade pottery.

Each week, the market welcomes musicians to perform as customers shop. This week, Betty Iron Thumbs will perform. Learn more about them here: http://www.myspace.com/bettyironthumbs
