I think it's excellent to see a farmers market so close and local.

At times Downingtown's farmers Market can be on the small side. I've found all the vendors to be…read morewonderful people. There are usually 2-3 meat vendors for local chickens, pork, beef cuts. Usually all you need to do is call a few days prior to the market day & they will bring you a specific item. I usually request chicken backs. There is usually an artesian baker, cheese, & several local farms selling numerous in-season vegetables & flowers. At times, a knife/tool sharpening vendor, tea vendor, and several other types of vendors are here. It's close to me. The variety of items for sale & quality is great. I try not to miss a single week.

We decided to join a CSA for the first time this year, and we were lucky enough in early July to…read morefind that the Stratton's CSA, Sunny Harvest, still had openings. So far it's been a fantastic experience. Since this review is technically of the market, I will say that the farm market, which I like to visit on CSA days, is fantastic. Along with other fresh fruits and veggies that may not be included in that week's CSA share, you can buy lots of local goodies. So far I've had some of the best strawberry jam, sweet mustard, and cookies in my LIFE from this farm market. It's open every day, check out hours and info on their website: http://wynnorrfarm.com/ For anyone not familiar with the CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) concept, you basically pay in advance for a share of the season's harvest. I found the Stratton's price for the season to be VERY affordable compared to other local CSAs ($375), and we get a LOT of fresh veggies each week (and sometimes other things too, like flowers, and I heard that in the future they may also include prepared mustards, jams, etc.) The amount you get is good for 2-3 people, I'd say. The fiance and I are a bit overwhelmed at the moment just because we're not used to having so much, but I think when we get into a groove it will be the perfect amount. Sometimes the produce you leave with smells so good (especially the onions and basil) you want to go home and cook immediately! CSA members also have the option of buying fresh chicken throughout the season, and we just cooked our first one last night. Oh goodness, was it tasty. I don't normally like "chicken that tastes like chicken" (i.e., I usually need to marinate my chicken heavily) but we just roasted this one very simply and it was delicious. The farm is conveniently located fairly close to West Chester and definitely worth a trip.

Came here bc I had a LivingSocial coupon for the corn maze & apple slingshot for $5. Originally…read morethe maze is $7 & the apple slingshot $3. The farm market itself isn't extremely large but had a decent stock of fresh veggies, baked goods. & yarn -- I expected a bit more. I tried the apple cider -- $1.49 for a pint -- it was nice & refreshing for a breezy October day. The corn maze is pretty neat. They have it set up as the solar system so you have to find the planet posts within the maze. They give you a map which details the posts, emergency exits, fire extinguishers, & emergency phone # if necessary. At each planet post, you have trivia questions to answer. It's a cute afternoon activity to do but most definitely more interesting to do with children or as a family. They also have hidden golf balls & tennis balls throughout the maze that you can redeem for a prize -- unfortunately I wasn't able to find one =( The apple slingshot was the best part! You get a bag of old apples & then you sling them towards the target. They also have some other activities for the kiddies.

We followed the sign arrows and ended up at the cutest little farm! There are all kinds of farm animals outside and a little indoor store. The store carries everything from cheese to cinnamon buns to produce to meat. It's an honesty stand too and you can just add up your amount and charge your cc or you can put your cash in the slot. We've been 3x now - most recently last week and every time we get the best cheese on earth. Def recommend coming if you are in the area.

The shop features farm grown, locally grown and just enough fresh and packaged additions to cover your weekly supplies. Apples and peaches are the volume crops but there are also seasonal harvests of pears, blackberries, corn, tomatoes and a variety of vegetables. In winter, there are carefully selected choices of various citrus options mostly from Florida. The Barnards have played a prominent role in multi century Quaker history and with this very special farm continue to do so. Among the particular treats are a variety of cut flowers, including a nice long season of snapdragons grown in the beautifully maintained turn of the twentieth century greenhouses. Everything about Barnard's is authentic and pleasing, including farmer Lewis Barnard. Go. It won't be your last time. It's cash preferred (fees for credit card); there is plenty of parking.

Cash only business with very friendly folks. Great selection of vegetables and fruit. All the veggies are grown there but the fruit is from another grower.

Parking is not an issue since they have enough spaces for a few cars. If you're ever in the area I would recommend stopping by. The simplistic charm of the place coupled with fresh organically grown produce is a sure winner!

It is the very good quality and taste of berries I enjoyed as well as personal touch by the owner of the farm. They still have some strawberry left, it is sweet and very fragrant, it is almost like in a famouse Swedish movie " Strawberry Patch", also in the movie is a wild strawberry. We enjoyed our red and black raspberries which are abundant and delicious this year. If you are a bluberry fan, you should come next week for the delicious treat! Bluberry is almost ready; sweat and sour, big and appetizing. The rain did not spoil our experience and a beautiful rainbow was like a prize we received from God. Come to Lititz to enjoy the farm and plenty of wonderful berries. I also collected some berry leaves to make my teas.
