Fairmount Farmers’ Market

A handful of quality farmers and makers convene across the street from the towering walls of Eastern State Penitentiary once a week throughout the spring and summer. Amish baked goods and fresh eggs sell out quickly while Urbanstead brings in Francisville-grown fruits and veggies farmed by local kids. On occasion, lucky shoppers can find locally foraged pawpaws, a native fruit that tastes downright tropical.
