First, we’d like to thank all the folks who prayed for good weather last weekend.  It did the trick.  Saturday morning the clouds finally moved on, hopefully to someplace that would appreciate them.  Next, for those of you trying to find your way in and out of the LFM parking spaces…yes, we know.  And thanks for bearing with us.   There …

Into each life…that’s what they say about rain.  And it happened yesterday.  The heavens opened.  The clouds fell down.  First, some perspective…The Lansdowne Farmers Market is committed to open on schedule rain or shine.  Why?  It’s in the name.  Because the crops won’t wait and the farmers can’t …What they have gathered must be sold as close to “just picked” …

That sound you just heard was me taking my first bite of my first apple of the season.  A Honey Crisp, to be exact…just like I remembered…solid, juicy and spicy sweet.  And I’ve gotta say, it didn’t hurt a bit.  That isn’t to say that there aren’t a few peaches on the tree still waiting for me…and BTW, the end …

Even though much has changed, this 2023 season has seen a return of some of the energy and fun of our pre-Covid years. And it was definitely worth the three-year wait for the return of Doggie Day at the Lansdowne Farmers Market; it was just how we remembered it.  Funny, chaotic and oh so sweet.  Our thanks to Animal Friends …

Hope we’re all ready for this weekend’s big event… We may have passed the dog days of August, but the fun never ends at the LFM.  The Lansdowne Farmers Market, together with Animal Friends of Lansdowne, proudly announces the Return of Doggie Day!  If you’re new in town, or just haven’t been paying attention, you should know that here in …

Before we begin…please take a moment to list all the things you did already this morning that required some technical assistance. For instance, did you turn on a water faucet to brush your teeth?  Flush a toilet to…well…just nod your head.  Did you turn on a light? Brew some coffee?  Re-set your AC for today’s heatwave?   This Labor Day weekend, …

I love writing this newsletter each week, but sometimes it can take me hours, fingers poised over the keyboard, to hit on a new topic of conversation…and sometimes inspiration is no further than the vendor across the aisle.  In this case, Conshohocken Brewery.  Beer!  Brilliant! It suddenly struck me that I was woefully ignorant on everything about the brew except …

What, given 21st-century technology, is the shortest distance between two points?  Go ahead, take a guess…I’ll wait. Time’s up.  Correct response:  the distance between your right and left ears. Because nothing can transport you over the miles and years like your memories. We’ve all been here…and suddenly there.  And wherever “there” is, most times it makes us smile.  The best …

Greetings from Ocean City MD, where I’m busy conducting extensive research on local wildlife…more commonly known as a destination wedding.   Traditions sure have changed since I was a blushing bride.  The demure hearts and flowers have left the building, and the birds and the bees have other things to do. Today fancy dresses paired with flip-flops are de rigueur.   I …

Home from the hills.  Getting away is nice, but it’s also nice to get back…to know where we keep the coffee and how to use the coffee maker, falling into a familiar bed… home sweet home.                                                                                                                                  And I’m looking forward to seeing you right where I left you…so I’ll be counting noses this Saturday at the Lansdowne Farmers Market.  …
