Get to Know Pottstown Farm
Pottstown FARM’s Mission is to provide the Pottstown region with access to fresh, locally grown agricultural products and handmade artisan goods. Through a variety of programs and incentives, FARM also helps provide easy access to fresh foods for the underserved in our region. Pottstown FARM is an enjoyable, healthy, and beneficial market for the entire community.
Pottstown FARM is proud to be celebrating ELEVEN YEARS in 2026! Be sure to come out and celebrate on opening day, May 16th with us. We will have The Party Animal Express, The Community Arts Puppeteers, crafts, our mascot Nugget, Live Music by David Antonio, and our Amazing Vendors!
To say we have come a long way, baby would be an understatement! The Pottstown farm started as an idea in a local restaurant with a local grower and the Main Street Manager. Together, we had many goals to bring easier access to fresh foods in the community food desert and to help bring more life into the downtown area with a Thursday night market.
More than 225 Market Vendors have been a part of our eleven years, and we recognize that we wouldn’t have grown without them. Thank you to all of our past and current vendors and customers who have committed to supporting our local, small businesses at the Pottstown FARM! Cheers to another year!
HOW FARM GETS THEIR FUNDING
While the market runs only from May through October, rest assured that the Director and the Board are working hard to secure funding to make the market both enjoyable and shoppable for everyone. Events are hosted when we receive sponsorships from local businesses and people like you.
Grants are sought every day to give FARM the best access to grow our marketing efforts, and specifically our programs that bring better access to healthy foods to our underserved community.
Our motto, “One Million Starts With One,” is our belief that many can bring a little to gain a lot. Think about it…if every person who visited the market each week bought $1.00. The cost would be $12 over the entire season. When 50 – 100 or all 500+ visitors bring $1.00 to each market, we increase that amount by the thousands. “One Million Starts With One” – You could be that one! Please “help us grow” during the 2026 season!
how you can support the farm
Pottstown FARM runs on the generous support of our community. That support empowers us to continue the programs that help our community access healthy foods. We invite you to participate in our campaign to raise money for the FARM.
This year, FARM celebrates ELEVEN YEARS! We encourage the community to help our market “GROW by making donations, large or small, remember – “One Million Starts with One”.
Get creative with your children by giving them ways to earn money that they can, in turn, donate back to the market. Ask your businesses to support our programs financially and show your support by sharing our social media posts.
