Clark Park Farmers Market

At 43rd Street and Chester Avenue, the Clark Park Farmers Market has been a West Philadelphia fixture since 1998. The Food Trust describes it as one of its largest markets and says it remains open year-round with support from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, Friends of Clark Park and the University of the Sciences. The setting makes it a neighborhood grocery stop as well as a market beside a public park.

Hours are Saturdays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. The weekly list can include fruit and vegetable growers, poultry and eggs, baked and canned goods, honey, cheese, cut flowers, coffee, wine, spirits and other specialty products. The Food Trust accepts cash, SNAP/EBT/P-EBT, Food Bucks, and WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers; most vendors accept credit and debit, but check with an individual stall. SEPTA routes 13, 30 and 34 serve the market area. The organizer updates its vendor list by date, so verify who will attend if you have a specific item in mind.
