ROYERSFORD PA – Sixteen different vendors seemed to enjoy brisk business Saturday (June 17, 2023) at the weekly Royersford Farmers Market. People packed into the municipal parking lot at 251 2nd Ave., across from the borough’s Victory Park.
The lot at mid-morning was nearly filled with cars (at top). Patrons eagerly browsed the selections of foods, beverages, and merchandise offered by artisans and craftspeople from across Montgomery, Berks, and Chester counties, and beyond.
Credit cards and cash were readily accepted, and awnings provided shade for vendors and a respite for their customers too.
