Bedner's Farm Market

This is a place where you need to be careful when you are buying produce. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that they did not have a whole lot to choose from but they did have some unique melons which I had never heard of before.The current "in season" items right now are corn on the cob, tomatoes, peaches, and melons. There is a dairy case but nothing exciting about it along with a meat case. I wasn't impressed with the meats in it nor with the frozen cherries I saw. For the most part you can spend under $10.00 depending on what you get. I was blown away by the huge cantaloupes they had for sale. They were $4.50 each. Unfortunately when I got my selected melon home and began to cut it the juice ran all over the place and I could tell it was overripe. They do have items noted directly from farms. I ended up with a green pepper for $.25. Other peppers were a bit more. For corn on the cob you can get either white or yellow corn. I choose half a dozen white. They come prebagged and the one I selected had an extra ear of corn for free. I cooked one of those up when I got home and it was fresh and good.I was taken aback however when I saw they were selling overriped bananas that had started to turn brown. Normally I would find this type of thing in your regular supermarket but never in a place like this.They sell other things like popcorn and honey and jams to name a few.I was told that their greenhouse is currently undergoing transformation for fall so I really didn't get an opportunity to visit it. I asked about their other location in Cecil and learned that it was basically a nursery as opposed to a farmer's market. It is run by someone else in their family.The staff is friendly and helpful in explaining things to me. Credit cards are accepted on any order over $10.00. It is located on Bower Hill Road as you head towards Bridgeville.

Great little road trip. Many unusual bedding plants. Found heirloom tomatoes and gorgeous pepper plants. Going to be digging in the dirt soon!

I live right around the corner. LOVE this place. Very good prices. I go three times a season. I get filler plants for the yard. I'm lucky, they are around the corner so I don't have to travel. They are very nice and helpful if your looking for something in particular. I like unique and different plants etc., I will recommend them anytime.
