Sunday, March 31, 2019: I haven’t been to the Quakertown Farmers Market, 201 Station Road, Quakertown, Pennsylvania (215-536-4115) since 1970 when my aunt & uncle who lived nearby, and my parents took me here. This farmers market has been around since 1932, and upon entering on the date above, I noticed that this place had shopping carts to use inside, and I got a good look at how big it is. The main building contained close to 150 vendors, and if you could wear it, use it, or eat it, they most likely had it—at a discount. Meanwhile, the merchandise looked very diverse and international. I saw items for sale from different parts of Europe, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the USA, including local stuff. If you got hungry, there were plenty of places to sit down or stand up and eat at from different ethnic cuisines from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and local stuff, including Pennsylvania Dutch food. The food prices here were also reasonable. If the main building at the Farmers Market wasn’t enough, then outside, there was the indoor/outdoor flea market! On over 225,000 square feet, this flea market could hold up to 120 indoor vendors and 400 outdoor vendors—depending on the weather. Those merchants sold new & used stuff, and from antiques to collectables to junk. You may have to take a second trip to see almost everything.
