At 8:40 on Saturday mornings customers begin arriving waiting on vendors opening their booths & stalls preparing for eager customers seeking locally sourced farm to market fresh produce or vendors offering foods featuring baked goods, freshly prepared meals & other varieties. Retail vendors are available offering unique products unavailable in stores. Regulars are easily noticeable walking towards their regular vendor spending a considerable time amount with their favorites taking their day slow exploring the days live music or fun activities offered that Saturday enjoyed by adults, kids & families alike. One day I will partake in the full mid morning to afternoon experience enjoying everything this farmers market has to offer. My sister Introduced me to Swissvale farmers market 2 years ago & since have enjoyed vendors and stalls offered that Saturday. On occasion vendors rotate & new ones take their place that Saturday or become a permanent fixture. I suggest enthusiasts follow their favorite vendors on social media or the web as select vendors attend other farmers market venues and or are available online. Judging by stalls presenting fresh produce, farmers in attendance take pride in their crops & offer customers their best. My favorite stall offers concord grapes & ripe blueberries. Enjoying throughout the week as a smoothie or in cereal my fruits remained flavorful. My future purchases will include in addition to my tradition grapes & berries will be tomatoes green beans, apples & cider. Farmers here are informative reguarding their crops & will show customers friendly service & recommend their best crop. Advantages shopping the stalls over grocery stores are price supporting local farmers & quality. Customers who receive EBT are included with workers' swiping cards & recipients receiving wooden tokens in exchange & valid at stalls & select vendors. Local musicians liven up the atmosphere adding a fun ambience to the experience. My sister participated in one Saturday's fun activity which included sidewalk chalk drawing. Everyone who participated made wonderful artworks fascinating me with color variety & designs. Partaking in different vendors 3 favorites of mine included Great Harvest Bread Company Pita Land & Livengood Brothers Maple Syrup. Pepperoni Rolls & Cheddar Biscuits from Great Harvest Bread tasted best. Cheddar Biscuits got set aside & had during breakfast on Sunday & warmed up enjoying a buttery soft dough with cheddar flavoring consistency putting Red Lobster to shame & would recommend eating as a sausage biscuit or Biscuits & gravy. Maple Syrup at its finest offering superior flavor complimenting french toast pancakes, other breakfast delights or any recipe requiring syrup. Selling healthy alternatives to any potato chips or nachos. Pita Land sells Pita chips & paris with Hummus or select dips available at select vendors or stores. In addition to farmers markets Pita Land chips retail at select stores if you run low previous to Sat & crave Pita Chips. Excited with anticipation My return is evident exploring other vendors & stalls present. Include a favorite vendor in your review if you wish.
