Clark Park Farmers' Market

In partnership with The Food Trust, University City District (UCD) organizes and promotes the Clark Park Farmers’ Market to help children, adults and families consume fresh and nutritious food. Food Trust staff provides nutritional information at the market as well as shopping tips and education about the different types of fresh fruits and vegetables you will find.

Local farmers pile tables with an amazing variety of beautiful, locally grown fruits and vegetables. The fresh foods cover the spectrum from affordable, high quality fruits to organically grown heirloom vegetables. This rainbow of fruits and vegetables is set off by sweet pastries and breads fresh from Amish ovens. Honey, cut flowers, milk, eggs, cheeses, meats, dried herbs, pumpkins and other foods are available along with the abundant offerings of beautiful produce.

The Food Trust partners with University City District to ensure that the Clark Park Farmers' Market is a vital addition to the local University City community. Beyond providing valuable access to fresh fruits and vegetables, farmers' markets are neighborhood events and help revitalize communities. Folks come to shop, to meet their neighbors, and to talk. The market has become part of the social fabric of the neighborhood.

Fortunately for University City and West Philadelphia, the Clark Park Farmers’ Market operates year round and is located at 43rd Street and Baltimore Avenue. Hours of operation are from May through November from 10am-2pm on Saturdays and 3-7pm on Thursdays and from 10am-1pm on Saturdays December through April.

By visiting the Clark Park farmers’ market you’ll get to know the person who grows your food, and feel good knowing that the money you spend is staying in the local economy and supporting local farmers. For more information, visit www.thefoodtrust.org.
