Fitler Square Farmers Market

Well maybe my expectations were too high but it was only 3 vendors. I used to go every weekend to sizable markets so this was incredibly disappointing. Good thing is that the vendors were nice!

The ONE prodduce table was wonderful. The people was super sweet and they had great products. The square itself was disappointing, I expected more vendors.

Good selection of food varieties — small in scale and in sidewalk length occupied, so they do not have multiple stands of every type of food. But I can find everything I need for a few days of fresh fruits, vegetables plus some baked goods and fresh herbs, too. NB: that sidewalk is pretty narrow so I would not advise going with your leashed dog and your stroller unless you check it out first, and unless you make a point of ONLY going during the slackest hours to avoid customer congestion. P.S. although this gMap find says so, the market is NOT open until "2 a.m."!! They meant it to say "9am - 2pm".

The variety of the vendors is limited but given the circumstances they come out EVERY Saturday morning and provide the community with fresh produce! Thanks Food Trust, we appreciate you

Great quality fruit and vegetables. It’s a smaller market (if you want a larger market, go to Headhouse on Sunday) with an abundance of seasonal produce.

I prefer this farmer's market over the Rittenhouse one. Great selection of produce and fantastic mushroom options... Truly a neighborhood gem

Top quality veggies / delicious baked goods/ helpful staff Well run esp felt safe using their system during covid

food was farm fresh but you need to subscribe for delivery

It's a postage stamp of a market, but much calmer than the Rittenhouse Farmers Market. Some of my favorites are the cider donuts who are also the same folk who sell fresh herbs. These herbs are amazing if you are making a roast chicken! There are two or three places selling baked goods. A great vendor who sells eggs. These eggs are eggcellent ( sorry I had to!). Another farmer/vendor always has some obscure produce like kabocha and hokkaido squashes. If you live in the area it's definitely worth checking out, but don't go out of your way. Or if you are interested get some coffee or a drink at Cafe Luteccia or Tastebuds and some cider donuts and sit in filter square. Fitler Square is always peaceful to sit in! Or if you have a dog grab some baked goods and head for the dog park near the schyukill trail!

Sure, this farmer's market is tiny, but they're there almost every Saturday year round so it's my go-to place for eggs, garlic, mushrooms, herbs, and a rotating selection of other items (for example, chicken, bread, cheese, apples, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, peppers, sweets). The fruits and vegetables are clearly seasonal. And local. So whatever you get, it's most likely going to be how it's really supposed to be. The fungi, however, are there year round (you don't want to know how they're grown; really; just enjoy them; they're delicious). Different people run the different stands, but they all tend to be friendly and, once you've been a few times, they even remember you. The prices are very reasonable. There's also a coffee stand among the farmers, but I haven't tried it.

Very small (5-10 vendors usually) but has more things you actually use on a daily basis versus the Rittenhouse Market. More fruits and veggies less shellfish, artisan craftwork, and flowers.
