West Shore Farmers Market — Attraction in Lemoyne

There’s a cozy, down‑home magic to the Westshore Farmers Market in Lemoyne, PA—one of those places where the morning light shines golden through wooden stall canopies, and the scent of freshly baked bread and salt‑kissed air drifts through the crowd. Folks have been gathering here for generations, swapping stories and homegrown bounty, and the market’s roots run deep, planted firmly in local tradition.

Strolling through the aisles on a crisp Saturday morning, you’re greeted by familiar faces and warm hellos. Each vendor brings something unique: there’s Old Mill Honey, where you can taste the amber sweetness straight from the hive; Mama Rosa’s baked goods, with cinnamon‑kissed scones that still taste like Sunday mornings; and the vibrant produce stand that bursts with colors of strawberry red, zucchini green, and heirloom tomato orange.

But two stops always steal the show for me. First, the pretzel vendor—with ropes of golden‑brown, salted dough, still steaming from the oven’s fire. You can watch them twist and shape each one by hand, hearing that soft crackle as the crust forms. They’re salty, chewy, just the right bit of rustic, and when you bite in, you half expect the sound of crickets and a rocking chair nearby.

Then there’s the seafood vendor—oh, what a treasure. Fresh shrimp, crab cakes still glistening with brine, and fish caught that very morning. You’ll find oysters shucked to order, their brine like a wave crashing on your lips.

It’s not just the food, though—you can sip fair‑trade coffee while chatting by the wooden benches, kids scampering by with fresh cider doughnuts in hand, and local musicians strumming bluegrass tunes in the center aisle. The marketplace hums with life: chefs from nearby restaurants shop here on Sundays; neighbors compare zucchini sizes; and newcomers always leave with enough fresh bounty to fill a basket—and a heart.

The Westshore Farmers Market feels like a warm worn quilt—patched together by community, history, and a shared love for simple, honest food. If you’re craving real flavor, good conversation, and that comforting sense of belonging, head on down. You’ll leave with a pretzel in one hand, a seafood treat in the other, and a little piece of Lemoyne’s soul tucked in...

Marie's Healthier choices is a place I always want to buy from. They have a lot of vegan options and are a valuable resource to anyone vegan. It is hard that they don't take credit cards. And the other thing, when I went to purchase these healthy peanut butter granola bars they made, I believe I received not a very nice attitude from the employee working there today. The granola bar's ingredients are stunningly healthy. However, for some reason they decided to put rice crispies in the bar? That is an industrial product and I do not like that they did that. The bar was fabulous, but it had a funny after taste because of those stupid rice crispies that were added. The employee informed me that "I was very lucky to have them as they will sell out shortly." And I would counter that snooty remark with!! if you are going to name yourself, Marie's Healthier Choices, then! make healthier choices and realize you will attract a certain number of customers that don't want that diabolical ingredient in their granola bar. Other than that, it's a great stop to make. I will also say that they are selling some very interesting and healthy soups. I just didn't like that attitude of the employee working there today! Ya, go figure! I am health nut wanting to shop at...

I went to S. Clyde Weaver's Meats and purchased beef ribs for my Christmas dinner. No, we aren't the traditional ham and turkey kind of family! (Were having braised beef ribs with spices, so flavorful with fennel, carrots, onions, celery in a red wine reduction sauce...Mmmm!) Anyways, I purchased four slabs of the beef ribs and paid an affordable $40.00. They even cut them down for me giving me more to feed my family. While there I purchased thin cut pork loins with bone in (pork chops) and also paid a great price. Their meats looked amazing, I normally go to Costcos and purchase my fresh meats--- but I think I may have found a new butcher shop. Whie there we always stop by Mr. Fine's stand, The Counrty Gourmet, my mama loves his Kuegel and usually calls Mr. Fine ahead of time to see if it available. My favorite friuts and vegetable stand is the Smuckers Produce stand. They have the freshest fruits and vegetables and super duper friendly staff! PSA: support your local famers, butcher shops and small businesses especially during these hard financial times. Try the West Shore Farmer's market in Lemoyne, PA. You'll thank me...
