Barnard's Orchard
The Barnards have farmed off Route 842 for three centuries, and the farm store runs on that momentum: their own produce in season, plus local eggs, cheese curds, and jam. Greenhouses too, if you came for the plants.
Bishop Estate Vineyard and Winery
Tastings on a farm the Bishop family has worked for more than a century — six pours off a list of 21 wines, then take a glass out to the big field by the gazebo. Weekends mean live music outside and a rotating food truck.
Bryn Mawr Farmers Market
Bryn Mawr's outdoor market, run by Lower Merion Farmers Markets, with growers, bakers and prepared food set up a block off Lancaster Ave. Seasonal, so check the dates before you go.
Bucks County Honey Co.
The farm store at Willauer Farm, selling raw, unfiltered wildflower honey from the farm's own hives — small-batch, bottled by hand, never high-heated. The freezer case holds their own beef, too; the delmonicos have a local following.
Cholet Historic Farm & Pond
A township historic farm on Creamery Road with a walking trail and a flower field.
Downingtown Farmers Market
The town's farmers market on East Pennsylvania Ave, run by Growing Roots. Produce, bread, and prepared food from growers around Chester County.
Eight Hands Farm Mercantile
The candles came first, poured in a home kitchen starting in 2015 by parents chasing a less-toxic burn: soy wax, essential oils, lead-free cotton wicks. The Ferry Street storefront carries them now, plus whatever else the farm's bees inspire.
Flowers From 12th
A small family-run flower farm in the middle of Quakertown, growing its own stems and cutting them fresh for each order. Bouquets for pickup or delivery, wedding work, plus workshops if you want to learn to arrange your own.
Fran & Ann's Produce Stand
Farm stand on a permanently preserved, pesticide-free farm at the corner of Wartman and Township Line roads, selling their own locally grown produce in season. When the sign is out, stop.
Glenside Farmers Market
A farmers market in the parking lot on West Glenside Avenue, growers and makers setting up in the open air. Market day and season are both worth checking before you go.
Harriton House
An 18th-century stone house and working farmstead on Harriton Road, kept as a museum by the township. Guided tours, and public events out on the grounds.
Hellerick's Adventure Farm
Barnyard mini golf, an aerial ropes course, a silo climbing wall, goat yoga, and u-pick crops on land farmed for 232 years, since 1794. In summer, glow golf runs 8 to 9:30pm and Friday concerts go 6 to 8:30.
Highland Orchards
A working farm with pick-your-own crops, a farm market open Tuesday through Sunday, and Best-of-Philly apple cider donuts that justify the drive on their own. Hayrides, school tours, and birthday parties run through the events calendar.
Jenkintown Farmers Market
A seasonal farmers market on Greenwood Ave with local growers and makers on market day. Show up early if you want the good tomatoes.
KSQ Farmers Market
Friday afternoons, 3 to 6, rain or shine in the Borough Hall lot on South Broad — local farmers and food makers selling direct since 2000. Free parking on site, which on a downtown Friday counts as its own attraction.
Malvern Farmers Market
The Malvern Farmers Market gathers local growers and makers near Burke Park through the warm months, with produce, bread, and things to eat on the spot. It's run by Growing Roots Partners.
Merrymead Farm
Over 32 flavors of premium ice cream, hand-dipped and made on site at this farm on Valley Forge Road. There's a greenhouse stocked with bedding plants and herbs, and a gem-mining setup where kids sift rough for crystals.
Milky Way Farm & Chester Springs Creamery
A working 103-acre dairy farm run by the Matthews family for four generations, with Chester Springs Creamery scooping ice cream right on the property. Reservation-only farm tours in season, plus a fall pumpkin stretch when the fields open on weekends.
Northern Star Farm
Fully preserved farm in Trappe, in the Wismer family since 1927, that opens for U-Pick Sunflower Days (2026 makes it three years running) and a fall festival. Later in the year: photos with Santa and Dominick the Donkey.
Peace Valley Lavender Farm
Pick-your-own lavender rows each summer until the season runs out, usually by mid-July. The farm shop opens Wednesday through Sunday with plants, dried bunches, bath and body goods, and culinary lavender.
Pennypack Farm & Education Center
Working community farm and CSA on Mann Road, with growing fields and education programs open to members and volunteers. Join for a summer share and end up weeding on Saturdays.
Peter Wentz Farmstead
Restored 1758 Pennsylvania German farmhouse where George Washington headquartered in 1777, now a Montgomery County historic site with livestock and a kitchen garden. Guided tours run on the hour Tuesday through Sunday, suggested donation $2.
The Produce Place
A family-run produce market on East Cypress where the corn comes off their own farm. Inside it's store-made hummus, salsa, wraps, and smoothies, with local yogurt, kombucha, and honey holding down the shelves.
Shady Brook Farm
A family farm ten minutes from Newtown with pick-your-own fields, free wagon rides, and a playground by the farm market. Summer unWINEd concerts run Fridays plus select Saturdays, and the market stays open year-round.
Snipes Farm and Education Center
A nonprofit teaching farm that runs summer camp, school field trips, and a fall festival, all a few minutes down the road in Morrisville. Every bit of produce grown here, 100 percent, goes to local food kitchens and distribution centers.
Solebury Orchards
Pick-your-own apples, peaches, and blueberries on Creamery Road, plus cider and applesauce pressed from the same trees. Picking season runs Thursday through Sunday from late June into October.
Spring Creek Farm
A 165-acre certified-organic farm with a store open Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays: organic produce and eggs, 100 percent grass-fed beef, all from the property. CSA members get 15 percent off farm produce and meat year-round.
Stargazers Vineyard
A small farm winery where $16 buys a flight of four wines and a seat by the vines — food is BYO, picnics encouraged, and they'll ask you to pack out your own trash. Summer weekends sometimes come with live music.
Styer Orchard
A pick-your-own orchard a short hop from Newtown, with free hayrides out to the fields. The farm market keeps long hours, 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Saturday and 8 to 6 on Sundays.

Sugartown Strawberries
Pick-your-own farm on Sugartown Road — strawberries in season, sunflowers and pumpkins later in the year, hayrides once fall arrives. The whole operation runs on the growing calendar, so check the site before you drive out.
Tabora Farm & Orchard
Farm bakery, deli, and country store at an orchard a few minutes south of Perkasie, open 7 am to 7 pm every day. Daily-baked pies, wholesale-grade soft pretzels, grind-your-own peanut butter, and seasonal u-pick that runs from blueberries into apples and pumpkins.
The Woodlands at Phillips
The retail shop for Phillips Mushroom Farms, run from the family's 1828 farmhouse — a fourth-generation operation selling every variety it grows, fresh. There's a free self-guided mushroom museum, and when the traditional marinated mushrooms come back in stock, it rates a homepage banner.
