7 things you gotta do in Bucks this weekend (July 6 – 9)

The 4th of July festivities may be over, but that doesn’t mean the fresh fruit, BBQs, and outdoor events are going away. Tired of hot dogs and hamburgers? Opt for Foodie First Friday in Doylestown or check out a new beer and restaurant spot in New Hope for some grub.

Mid-summer veggies are starting to hit their stride, so be sure to stop by your area farmers market for tomatoes, berries, (the last of the) cherries and more. Keep reading for more foodie events near you!

4. Wrightstown Farmers Market

Saturday, July 8, 2203 Second Street Pike, Wrightstown, PA

Remember when we said the berries are coming in? It’s true, and you can see for yourself at area farmers markets like the Wrightstown Farmers Market on Saturday. Milk House Farm Market is bringing their raspberries, and Solebury Orchards will have blueberries and a few pie and sweet cherries — this is likely the last week for this short seasoned delight.

The mid-summer veggie season is upon us and that means the beginning of tomatoes! For now, you’ll see a limited supply of greenhouse grown heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Also, arugula, beets, bok choy, cabbage, carrots, celery, collard greens, cucumbers, eggplant, fennel, garlic, green beans, hakurei turnips, head lettuce, kale, kohlrabi, mizuna, mustard greens, Napa cabbage, new potatoes, lettuce, lettuce mix, fresh onions, radishes, salad mix, summer squash, and Swiss chard. Sweet corn and tomatoes are right around the corner!

Also at the market this weekend: a chef demo with Luke Smithson of Jamie Hollander Catering & Events in New Hope. The market begins at 9 am and ends at 1 pm.
