Bloomfield Saturday Market

Small farmer’s market with some local niche vendors, including a Zeke’s coffee stand. Open from 9 AM-​1 PM. Parking is pretty easy to find around the area

I stopped here to get some of Leona’s Ice Cream sandwiches because I heard she had her cart here. Which by the way, if you haven’t tried Leona’s, DO IT ASAP. So so so so so so YUMMY. While I was there, I browsed the rest of the market and it was nice to see a wide variety of food vendors. There were plenty of fresh fruit and veggie options, as well as baked goods, wine, and other treats. I was also excited to see Freedom Farms had a stand so I could pick up a dozen of their eggs.

I stop by this market on the weekend it was nice not to big ! We got some Leona’s Ice Cream Sandwhiches! You must try they are the best ice cream Sandwhiches ! We also got some farm fresh eggs from Kings Farm and some strawberries !

Is it possible that I have two new businesses to report on in my beautiful neighborhood of Bloomfield?
Saturday morning started out a bit unusually this week. I awoke to the sound of bagpipes blaring at about 8:50 AM. I know many people find bagpipes to be attractive, I would not be one of those people, however.
Curious, i threw on some clothes and wandered toward the source of the racket, and lo-​and-​behold there was a farmers market starting up in the parking lot across from West Penn Hospital!
I wandered in, as the bagpipes continued to squeak and groan, and checked out what was happening. There were approximately 20 to 25 booths set up, or I should say getting set up. It was tiny, but it was the first day, so I guess you have to temper expectations a bit. My recollection of the booths was that there was a few produce stands, a butcher shop, (I think it was djs Butcher shop), the hummus stand, a couple of dessert places, a vegetarian empanada stand, Zekes coffee shop, and a few more.
I bought a bag full of fresh produce, some cilantro mint hummus, a cookie, coffee, and an empanada. All in all, a great haul for the day.
So happy to see this added to my neighborhood! Looking forward to it getting much larger and opening earlier than 9 o’clock (or at least on time!)!
