Opening Day of the 2011 Bethlehem Farmers’ Market
May 20th, 2011
Despite the threat of rain, Opening Day of the Bethlehem Farmers’ Market was bright, sunny and bustling! Market-goers were thrilled with the reusable grocery bag giveaways and the great “Local Foods Guide” provided by Buy Fresh Buy Local of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Twelve vendors were present at the Opening Day, including new vendors Key Ingredient Market (spreads and dips), York Moor Farms (fresh eggs and produce), Casa Vieja (lunch items including tacos and guacamole) and Around the World in 80 Cakes (cupcakes and brownies). Returning vendors were Easton Salsa Co. (salsa and hot sauce), The Popcorn Pit (fresh popped corn and nuts), A Natural Alternative (soaps and toiletries), Back Door Bakeshop (baked goods), Hum-dinger Alpapcas (wool products), Tasty Pastry (kiffles and nut rolls), Quetzal Bakery (Guatemalan baked goods) and Bechdolt Orchards (produce and flowers). Next week two more returning vendors will join, Lettuce Alone Farm (produce) and The Flour Shop (breads, lunch items).
Dave Fry entertained the crowd from 12-2pm with an eclectic mix of music, including a special children’s set for the students of Holy Infancy in South Bethlehem, who walked to the market as a fieldtrip. The Bethlehem Farmers’ Market runs Thursdays from 11am to 3pm through October 27, 2011 at Campus Square (New & Morton Streets in South Bethlehem).

In late August 2002, The Cup, also known as the Bethlehem Dairy Store, opened its second location in the Campus Square retail area. The original Bethlehem Dairy Store on Linden Street in North Bethlehem has been a favorite of area families looking to enjoy many flavors of homemade ice cream for over 85 years.
With four convenient locations in Bethlehem, Johnny’s Bagels is a great place for breakfast and lunch. We offer the freshest bagels, hand-rolled and prepared in the old-style tradition.
