This week, September 3

Start your Labor Day weekend by coming out to the Penn Street Market located between 8th and 9th Streets on Penn Street in Reading. Stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables from Zimmerman Family Farms, and don't forget to get your farm fresh natural cheese, milk and ice cream from our dairy farmer vendors, Way-Har Farms and Dave Rice. Enjoy entertainment from Reading's barber shop singers, the Pretzel City Chorus, from noon until 1 p.m.. The market is open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. This week's featured restaurant is Mi Casa Su Casa serving empanadas --- pork and cheese or chicken and cheese, plus other delicious entrees --- from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Free parking is available each Friday in the Reading Redevelopment Authority lot at 9th and Cherry Streets. Penn Sstreet Market is a growers-only market where farmers sell products direct from the farm.

We are happy to have the following farmer vendors:
Way-Har Farms' ice cream wagon is ready to help you beat the heat with its cool and delicious milk shakes, and ice cream in cones and dishes. Pick up your farm-fresh milk in pints, quarts or half gallons --- whole, 2% and skim available to go. And don't forget to purchase their farm store's baked items: cup cakes, shoo-fly pies, sticky buns, cheese and zucchini bread, and other taste-tempting treats.
Pick up your picnic watermelon, nectarines, peaches, cantaloupes, and apples from Zimmerman's Family Farms. They have a beautiful assortment of fresh, home grown vegetables, including sweet corn, all types of peppers, green and yellow string beans, tomatoes, red beets, cucumbers, zucchini, along with potatoes. They accept Farm Market Nutrition Program coupons.
Kempton dairy farmer Dave Rice will be bringing brown eggs to market from B.A.D. Farm. His farm motto is "Where we don't live up to our name." Wife Beth and Dave use milk from their dairy cows to create natural cheeses in hard and soft varieties. Try several new cheeses that are coming to the Penn Street Market this week: Dill Havarti and Basil Feta. Spreadable cream cheese dips and mozzarella products --- marinated, string, and fresh, will be featured at Dave's stand.
Again, come out for lunch with the Greater Reading Chamber's Restaurant of the Week Mi Casa Su Casa with a menu that features items for under $5.
