Meet Me at the Farmers Market!

* Hop on the Chester County Farmers Market Trail

The Farmers Market Trail promotes local agriculture, supports county and regional vendors and offers a way for the community to connect with local food systems. Visit one of the 10 markets across the county (marked with *) and collect a stamp at each one. Ten stamps will get you a special Ag Swag Bag with gifts and info on locally produced goodies. Pick up a trail map at participating markets or download at Go-AgConnect.org.
