Have you ever liked the taste of something so much, you just couldn’t get enough of it? That’s been me with sweet summer peaches. One week I think I had one every day for breakfast! This weekend is packed with peaches including two Bucks County peach festivals.
Events are listed in chronological order
1. Lower Makefield Farmers Market
Thursday, August 11, 3:30 – 6:30 pm, Lower Makefield Township Farmers’ Market, 1100 Edgewood Road, Yardley, PA

Grab some snacks from the food trucks, including Nina’s Waffle and Sum Pig, and check out the fire truck with kids or friends. Don’t forget to browse the many vendors in attendance.

2. Burger and Beer Week
Thursday, August 11, Garden Terrace Restaurant, 80 Jacksonville Road, Warminster, PA
Some might argue that burgers and beers are an American favorite. The pairing does make a nice summer meal, and if you have a craving, head to the Garden Terrace Restaurant for its Beer and Burger week.

5. Peach Festival at Manoff Market Gardens
Saturday, August 13, 10 am – 4:30 pm, Manoff Market Gardens, 3157 Comfort Road, Solebury, PA
This Saturday, August 13 is Customer Appreciation Day at Manoff Market Gardens, and it’s all about the peaches. Head over to the farm for a visit, enjoy homemade ice cream (with your help) and eat anything with peaches in it.
Tips on peaches, from Manoff Market Gardens: A lot of farms strongly discourage touching the fruit before purchase, especially peaches. Instead of squeezing the fruit and checking to see if it’s “ripe,” ask the staff first and they will help you pick the best quality peaches. This way, you get the fruit you want without bruising the rest!
If you are in Jersey…There is a Peach Social on Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 4 pm at Villa Milagro Vineyards in Phillipsburg, NJ. Enjoy peach sangria and a small cup of fresh peaches with cream, all for $10 per guest.
6. Celebrity Chef Farm-to-Table Night
Saturday, August 13, 6 – 9 pm, Bucks County Audubon Society at Honey Hollow, 2877 Creamery Road, New Hope, PA
You’ve seen it on the radar, and the event is almost full. You have one last chance to buy tickets to the Second Annual Celebrity Chef Farm-to-Table dinner that features a celebration of food produced by local farms. This event features twin chefs Keith Blalock of PA Soup and Seafood and Penn Taproom, and Kevin Blalock of Lookaway Golf Club (guess you could say this event is going to be twice the fun!).
The farm-to-table event is BYOB, with beer, wine, and kombucha sampling. There will be local wine for purchase. Plus, enjoy live music by Cherry Lane featuring Christa Tinari. Dinner is rain or shine because dinner is under tents. The event benefits the mission of the Doylestown Food Market, which aims to make local food accessible to everyone.
