But at some point I think it’s gotta snow, and climate change may make it a Godzilla of a snow storm. And that’s why I’ve been ordered by The Nemesis Of My Life (Nemesis for shortness) to stock up on the good stuff at the Farmers Market this weekend. Which makes me feel more secure. But not because we’ll be prepared for a huge snow storm. That’s all cool, but most importantly it means there won’t be space in the freezer for Nemesis to hide my body when one of my idiotic shenanigans becomes her “last straw”. Until then, see you at the Market.We’ve always felt that our market’s location — in Pretzel Park which includes a playground and dog run — has contributed to making the market kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and family-friendly. We’re also convenient to public transportation: SEPTA Routes: 35, 61, Manayunk-Norristown Regional Rail (Manayunk Line) <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pretzel+Park/@40.0255841,-75.2232937,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c6b894e71b0f01:0xf1f5e0e1c5e79fdc!8m2!3d40.0255841!4d-75.221105" style="box-sizing:inherit;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;border-color:currentcolor;border-style:none;border-width:0px 0px medium;margin:0px;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,85,0)">Map here</a><a href="http://www.friendsofpretzelpark.org/2018-farmers-market/2018-vendor-list/" style="box-sizing:inherit;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;border-color:currentcolor;border-style:none;border-width:0px 0px medium;margin:0px;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,85,0)">Farmers Market Vendors Page (for details)</a> <a href="http://lists.friendsofpretzelpark.org/lists/listinfo/PretzelPark" style="box-sizing:inherit;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;border-color:currentcolor;border-style:none;border-width:0px 0px medium;margin:0px;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,85,0)">Join the Email List</a><h3 style="box-sizing:inherit;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;border:0px none;margin:0px 0px 0.7em;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;color:rgb(0,0,0)">FARMERS and FOOD</h3>Walnut Run Farm Cash, Credit CardsFall special: sausage grillers Melvin will be bringing pork, including but not limited to spare ribs, bacon, chipped ham, and a number of different sausages which are all nitrate free cured meats — No MSG seasonings —; 100% grass-fed beef, such as a variety of steaks, ground beef, burger patties ready for grilling, and beef sticks and bologna; and veal.
