The biweekly Sunday Winter Farmers’ Market will take place in the West Reading Shopping Center parking lot, 525 Penn Avenue, West Reading, from 10 AM to 12 PM, rain or shine.
The WRFM is celebrating its 19th season as a year-round, outdoor, producer-only market, meaning every vendor is a hand-picked, small-scale farmer (produce, livestock, or dairy) or a food business located within 50 miles of West Reading. Each item is grown, raised, or hand-made. Our goals include educating our customer base on the benefits and positive impact of supporting locally grown and produced foods. We offer a variety of seasonal vegetables and fruits, artisan pastries, organic breads and sweet treats, pastured meats and poultry and eggs, cheeses, raw local honey, hand-made ravioli, pierogi, and pasta, cooking oils, roasted coffee and tea, fresh cut flowers, herbal tinctures and body products, locally fermented cider, and beer. We encourage our value-added producers to use local ingredients wherever possible.
