Firehouses, markets and art

Oh, oh, oh. It looks like another great weekend here in Bucks County. Mark is looking forward to sanding and painting our little boat, but me…as usual I’m thinking about food. There are MANY firehouse breakfasts and dinners going on this weekend, so here’s your chance to try one if you haven’t already. Or sign up for a wine tasting or cooking class. It’s all here. Also, see our post from last week on places to sit outside and enjoy food and libations.

Enjoy art, a tasty brunch and support the Neshaminy Manor Nursing Home all at the same time. The 8th Annual Arts for the Manor will feature food by some of the area’s finest chefs – Meil’s, Just Foods, Issac Newtons, The Cafe at Rosemont, J. Scones, Sodexho Food Service, Heavenly Ham, Haring Brothers, Crossroads Bakery, Uno’s Bar & Grill, Houlihans, Solly Brothers Farm, Acme, Giant, Wegman’s, Kenny’s, Vaders, Buck Hotel, and more. All proceeds benefit the Arts For The Manor – a program to bring artists into Neshaminy Manor to work with residents on a weekly basis.

While the last New Hope Winter Farmers’ Market takes place this Thursday, April 15th, the Bucks County seasonal farmers’ market season officially opens next Saturday with the 33rd year of the Doylestown Farmers’ Market run by the Buckingham Township Civic Association. And of course, the Stockton Farmers’ Market takes place every Saturday and Sunday in Stockton. Come on out and celebrate the new growing season!
