From applesauce to zucchini, Bucks County farmers markets have it all. The county’s rich, agricultural heritage shines in the summer months with markets, farm tours, and pick-your-own events galore! But what about winter? 

As we all know, it is equally important to eat healthy food and support our local farmers during the cold, winter months—perhaps even more so. Lucky for us, Bucks County has a vibrant, local, food system that never goes into hibernation. From the biggest farmers markets to the smallest roadside stands, we’re making it easy for you to eat fresh, shop local, and support our farming community right from your own backyard—year round!
