On Sunday mornings, this South Street-adjacent market welcomes 40-plus vendors and a steady flow of shoppers to the covered stretch of historic cobblestones. Along with an excellent array of produce from favorites like Beechwood Orchards, Headhouse is a great place to stock up for a party with cider from Hale & True and Ploughman, canned craft cocktails from Top Dog Cocktails, and charcuterie from Heavy Metal Sausage Co., a South Philly specialty butcher shop.
Sure, you could stock up on produce at your local Acme or Giant supermarket, but where’s the fun in that? There’s nothing like throwing on some comfy clothes, picking up a giant cup of coffee from the neighborhood shop, and filling your bag with fresh tomatoes from a stand that will tell you exactly where—and how—they were grown.
Half the joy is in the discovery. It’s finding your new favorite bakery, being talked into trying a hot sauce you’ve never encountered, or grabbing another succulent that your already crowded windowsill most definitely needs to feel complete.
Philly has plenty of options, and our guide highlights the best, from pop-ups in stately public squares to neighborhood parks and even college campuses. These Philly farmers' markets offer the gambit. Whether your interest lies in standard veggie fare or you’re more intrigued by specialty ravioli and Korean tacos, there’s a farmer's market in Philadelphia for you.
Before you head out and enjoy, check listings, as some markets may be seasonal, and vendors are always changing.
