Today I went to the Phoenixville Farmers’ Market. It’s under the Gay Street Bridge in Phoenixville, Pa. Being under the big bridge was cool and if it rains, it helps. There was a guitar player playing some pretty music and it was a beautiful day.
We walked around for a little bit and the first thing I got was an almond croissant with almond paste in the inside. It was really really good.
We also bought some vegetables such as arugula and tomatoes (actually tomatoes aren’t really vegetables).
Then we bought some fruit from North Star Orchard, such as peaches and asian pears. My mom also got some organic eggs and grass fed beef from Forks Farm.
For lunch, I had a pork sandwich with mango sauce. It was delicious.
For dessert, I was about to order a “Pieces of Reeses” cupcake from Iced by Betsy, but they sold out of them right as I was about to order. So instead I got a vanilla cupcake with berry filling and berries on top. It was a very tasty and beautiful cupcake.
Later in the afternoon when we were back at home, we cut up an asian pear and put goat cheese on it that we also got at the market. It was very delightful as a snack and the pear was sweet and juicy. The goat cheese was from Shellbark Hollow Farm. My mom especially loved the goat cheese. I want to try it again to see if it’s something I really like.
I am really looking forward to going again.






Thanks for including the photo – my goodness, you’ve grown alot since I saw you the last time. I love how diverse your palate is and how you enjoy tasting new things. I wish my great-grandkids would do that!! (Three of them have to smell everything before they eat it if it’s different than what they’re used to eating.) I enjoy reading your posts!
Hi Kathy. Thank you for writing and thank you for reading my blog! Maybe if your grandkids keep trying new things, they will find some new foods that they like.
Sincerely,
Elena

Thanks Sis, love you too, and I’ll be sure to let you know next time we go to this farmers’ market. It’s every Saturday and you have to get there early before they run out of cupcakes!
Love, Elena
