Winter feels like a time when there aren’t any good finds at the farmers’ market. I mean, what could possibly be growing during the latest polar vortex? But nothing could be farther from the truth!
There are tons of options at the Yardley Farmers’ Market (YFM), and because there may be fewer people shopping, you can really chat up the vendors and get some yummy recipe ideas! Here’s what you can expect to see from some of our vendors at the YFM over the next few months (for a list of all winter market vendors, check out our website):
