Nothing bad. Not too many stands that I was interested in. I haven't been here for years and a lot of former stands were not there. I moved to Georgia and was raised in Mohnton and the Shillington Market was always a special treat for me as I was growing up. read more

A wonderful variety of foods, both fresh and prepared. I love that you can go from Thai to Soul food to Korean to Italian in such a relatively small place. Also, there are the unexpected treats like Kpop merchandise. It's not what I think of as a traditional, typical farmers' market, and I love that. Exceptional service from everyone I've encountered too. So many friendly and truly helpful merchants. read more

I go here between both jobs usually near the end of the week as a treat myself reward. I always look forward to either picking up Eve's Thai Kitchen, or Cho's produce of sushi. Lately I've been looking forward to Mama Cho's delicious food, their wonderful environment, and the positive heartfelt service they offer. Their food just reinvigorates me from their beef bowls, their noodles, their bento boxes, their awesome assortment of tea; it's an ever growing menu that I can't get enough of. The area is nice and suited to sit down after a long shift. Just seeing the hard working lady and her crew also uplifts my mood and excitement to order. I always try to tip when I have the funds, cause their generosity and suggestions are always appreciated. read more

From fresh fruits and vegetables to generous sandwiches made to order, and a bountiful selection of quality meats, the Shillington Farmers Market is really a "soup to nuts" kinda place. As a matter of fact, you can also buy soup AND nuts there, too! The vendors and their customers make up a little community. You don't have to stop in too many times before the vendors start to recognize you! All the vendors we've shopped with have been very welcoming and helpful, answering questions when we had them. In many ways it has ambiance of the open air markets of Europe where people come every day or several times a week to buy their groceries. There is usually plenty of parking including handicapped spaces that are strategically placed. read more

Small farmer's market just south of Reading although not many true farms represented. One produce stand with some local produce, chocolates, coffees, deli items, Thai takeout and others. The Southern food stall had a line and the bakery was almost sold out. The Italian and Greek counter had plenty of Italian but no Greek stuff to speak of except the one type of Greek feta and phyllo dough in the freezer. read more

I love this market. Fresh butcher shop, chicken, and fish. Fabulous Salino's Italian Deli stand. Love the vegetable stand and the bread and rolls available at the other stands. New Indian food stand has amazing Butter Chicken! The burger stand has a great deal on burgers that can't be beat! Thank you Hamid for making this place great!!! read more

Thankful that this is an indoor farmers market so I can shop easily with my two littles. Nice quaint market with many options for food, drinks & sweet treats. I tried a few vendors so I could get an idea of what they had to offer: Kate's Bread Basket - I tried some fresh items that looked delicious. 1 Jewish baked roll, 1 onion roll, 1 strawberry filled donut, 1 peach muffin & 1 blueberry muffin. All for $6.05, which isn't bad for all of those. Brocmar Smokehouse - I love smoked turkey so I got a 1/2lb of their smoked turkey along with some of their Honey Bee sauce. $6.89 for 1/2lb isn't too bad. Flavor of the turkey isn't as smoked as I like it but it does taste really fresh and organic. Auntie Anne's - I know you can find this anywhere but my son wanted a pretzel lol. He devoured the plain pretzel it in 2.5 seconds! $2.79 for 1. Olivia Fruit Produce - the only produce place in the market but a huge variety of fruit and vegetables. They even offer grapefruit and orange juice at $5.99 for a 16 oz container. That wasn't worth it to me when I can go to Redner's and get a larger container for $9. I ended up getting some veggies to roast (potatoes, zucchini squash, summer squash, red pepper, yellow pepper, asparagus), some cherry tomatoes to snack on (these were super sweet!) & some raspberries my son wanted. Everything for $18.50. Wasn't too happy about the cost since I didn't get a lot but I was happy it was fresh. Mi Casa Su Casa - their food looked soooo good! I wanted to try everything, but I ended up getting 1 veggie empanada & 1 chicken empanada. 2 for $5. The chicken empanada was really good, chicken a little dry but crunchy and good flavor. Will go back to try more menu items. I wanted to try the Thai place but I didn't know that they only accept cash. They do have an ATM on site but I was not about to get charged a fee for some food. Overall good experience. Be prepared to spend about $50 if you want a good amount of stuff. Also, come on Thursdays as they typically don't restock and once stuff is gone, it's gone. And from one of the vendors the stuff usually goes quickly. read more

So glad to have stumbled upon this place while hubby was getting supplies at the Giant next door. The adjacent strip mall also features a Goodwill in addition to a few other businesses. I'm so glad we didn't get lunch beforehand because this place is amazing! Not only can you get fresh local produce, eggs, nuts, deli, and baked goods, but they offer a nice assortment of made to order food. Whether you're in the mood for a sub (a large is only $5.50 made fresh to order right inside the door at the deli stand/CASH ONLY) or Korean (had some of the BEST glass noodles and Korean beef ever!) or Puerto Rican they got you covered. I was in awe walking around taking in all the smells before I committed to Korean. Since each stand is manned by a different vendor payment terms vary. While some accepted credit, others only accepted cash so do bring some along. Aside from the independent vendors there was an Auntie Anne's in the back as well as a sit down greasy spoon type diner. Seating was limited to restaurant but one of the "shops" did have a table or two. Plan on getting take out vs dining in. Everything was clean and well maintained and indoors. We camp often in the area (about 10 miles away) so the market will surely become a regular stop for us. read more

What a market! Friendly merchants, farm fresh foods, snacks and bake goods galore, many "eating stands", and the best variety of any farmers market that I have been to. The market café has really affordable prices with big portions. I had a b-l-t- on rye toast. Tons of bacon, tasty, right amount of mayo, and a nice size side of French fries. read more

4.5 stars. Hamid Chaudhry deserves a lot of credit for turning the Shillington Farmers Market around since he acquired it in late 2017. In the middle of 2017, the Shillington Farmer's Market was 2/3 empty and seemed very likely it was going to shutter as the few remaining vendors were considering other options. Since then, the market has greatly expanded not only the number of vendors it has but the variety as well. There are a few long-time vendors which are there from the old Shillington Farmer's Market (Museum Road and Lancaster Ave.) including Salino's, Balthaser's Meat, reopened Betty's Classic Deli Salads, and a bunch of new ones. It has almost all of the basics covered if you need seafood, meat, produce, etc. There are also a few takeout food options (subs, Thai, Latin soul, BBQ, sushi and Korean) along with the Shillington Market Cafe which offers generous portions, modest prices, and decent, basic food. If you have food allergies (Gluten) or are a vegetarian/vegan, it is lacking in options but you can say the same of any farmer's market in Berks County including Wyomissing and the Fairgrounds Farmers Market on the 5th Street Highway. Ditto if you are looking for a lot of fresh herbs/seasoning as well as specialty food items. I still prefer the Fairgrounds Farmers Market but this is a convenient and easy location to get to from my parent's houses that offers reasonable prices and a wide array of vendors to meet most customer's needs. It could use a top-scale bakery with a wider array of fresh bread products as well as a killer taco place. It still amazes me that the Reading area still doesn't have a really great and authentic taco place given the Latino population including Mexican residents in the area. Tip - Make sure you bring cash too because there are at least several vendors who only accept cash. read more

This farmers market is just like every other farmers market in Pennsylvania. Its filled with a great selection of local farm fresh meats and vegetables as well as coffee from around the world, fresh baked bread and pastry items, a Korean food stand and even a latin food both. There is also a candy stand, a pet stand and plenty of restaurants to eat at including BBQ meats, diner style food and a Aunty Anns Pretzels. There is truly something for everyone here at the Shillington Farmers Market! read more

Good food selections, pet supplies, candles, soaps, etc. All in all a nice little market

We live about 45 or so minutes away from the Shillington Market but we enjoy visiting it several times a year....Max Crema, Mi Casa Su Casa, Eve's Thai food, Kate's bread basket, the chocolate/candy company, the pastries, etc., along with the friendly vendors, makes this market stand out among others. When I contacted the market recently, they quickly replied and that was appreciated. Thank you since I noticed the owners support communities and organizations in Berks County. Much success to you, your family, vendors, and businesses in 2022! Mar read more

Is a decent farmers market. Not as big or varied as the Fairgrounds one. Nice candy Amish pastries and barbeque chicken. Produce...ok.

Don't go here unless you visit "Meat and Sea me" market at the Shillington Farmer's Market! Absolutely the best steaks and seafood around! Be sure to be there on Thursdays when they open to get the choicest meats and seafood. Also check out the dessert counter when you enter through the main entrance. They have sweets and Shoo Fly Pie to die for! Don't miss this PA Dutch treat in the heart of Shillington. read more

Small local farmers market, not a great selection but decent overall for the size. Smaller then wyo or fairgrounds. Solid 3 stars. A few more vendors and some sprucing up would make a big improvement....... read more
