The market is held rain or shine in the lower parking lot of Penn State Great Valley (30 East Swedesford Road, Malvern) from 11:00 am--2:00 pm every Thursday through November. Fresh fruits and vegetables, mums, cheeses, baked goods, sandwiches, gluten free items and more are provided by local farmers and vendors.

The Great Valley Corporate Park setting allows farmers to bring the market directly to the people in the convenience of their work setting--a pretty novel idea. Additional information is available at www.pennstategreatvalley.org. Be aware that many vendors only accept cash.
I haven't had an opportunity to check it out yet, but hope to get there in October. What a great way to eat healthy and support local businesses!

Thank you for all of your help with the staging and taking care of everything from start to finish. You did a remarkable job! What you did really makes a difference and we are very happy with the results. If you ever need a reference I would be happy to provide one. M. Merker, West Chester
Linda is very professional and was able to provide service quickly. She provided resources that were necessary to stage my house without me having to do a thing! D. Florence, Elverson
You worked with us though impossible deadlines and got the job done. Everyone who came through the property was very impressed. You did a great job. A. Redcay, Coatesville
Linda is very knowledgeable and willing to do a little "extra" above and beyond normal service. I feel the staging was in part responsible for the quick sale of the house. I hope we can work together again.
