New outdoor farmers' market joins Reading Terminal fray

Come get some

This Sunday, May 16 will see the debut of a local, outdoor farmers' market adjacent to the famed Reading Terminal Market at 12th and Arch streets. Operating 9 a.m.-1 p.m. every Sunday from May 16 through mid-November, the market is the fruit of a partnership between RTM management and buy-local organization Farm To City, who collaborated to secure a dozen local farmers vending vegetables, berries, tree fruit, herbs, Piedmont beef, pastured chicken, cow and goat's-milk cheeses, chocolates, honey and flowers. This weekend's kickoff will feature a slew of longtime RTM merchants literally rolling out a vintage welcome wagon stuffed with specialties to greet local farmers and producers, as well as live bluegrass tunes by Special Delivery.
