Friday Farmers' Market @ Wyck Historic House, Garden & Farm

Wyck's Farmers' Market is open on Germantown Avenue every Friday afternoon from June through November. Coordinated in partnership with The Food Trust, it provides the sole opportunity to buy beautifully grown, extremely fresh, chemical free produce in the immediate neighborhood. Much of the produce is harvested on the very day of sale. The market is a great place to swap recipes and try unusual, heirloom vegetables.

Home Farm produce sold in 2011 included apples, a variety of beans, blackberries, black raspberries, cabbage, carrots, chard, concord grapes, edamame, eggplant, figs, garlic, a variety of lettuces, kale, parsnips, popcorn, squashes, strawberries, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and more, as well as numerous heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables. Wyck’s chickens supplied eggs, and our bees supplied honey. In addition, the market distributed the vegan, soy-free goods of Earth's Elements Foods & Products, Inc., including whole-grain crumb cakes and muffins, spice rubs and blends, and sauces and dressings. 

We aim to make fresh, healthful food affordable to as many people as possible. We sell much of our produce below market rate, and, through our partnership with The Food Trust, we accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits as well as the vouchers distributed through the federally-funded Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

Unlike at most urban farmers markets, Wyck market-goers have the opportunity to stroll through the gardens and see where and how their food is grown. Wyck staff is always available to answer questions about growing and using fresh food. Additionally, Wyck House is open for free, self-guided tours on Fridays, 1:00 - 4:00, to coincide with the Market (during the June-November season).

We welcome you to stop by or become a regular!
