Saturday mornings at 5927 Easton Road run from 9 to 12:30, rain or shine. There's free coffee, free parking, a free kids corner and live music, and leashed dogs are welcome among the produce, meat, honey and flower tables. As of this weekend, three of those mornings are left in the 2026 season: October 17, October 24 and the Halloween Market on October 31.
Then the market is gone for five weeks, and back on December 5. Those five weeks aren't empty, though. The Grange hall stays busy and the vendors keep selling, and the farms behind Plumstead's local food never had an off-season in the first place. Taken together, their schedules leave one Saturday between Halloween and the holidays with nothing confirmed on any calendar.
The Grange hall keeps its own calendar
The Plumsteadville Grange was founded in 1917. Its Grange Hall sits on Route 611 at 5901 Easton Road and is used regularly as a community center by 4-H groups, Girl Scouts, Grange community groups and private events, so the building stays busy whether or not the market tents are up. The weekly market is the Grange's most visible program from late spring through October, and the market page lists the Halloween Market as its closing event for 2026.
That page says the market runs June through October. One of its regular vendors gives May 30 as the start date. Both sources agree on the finish, and the finish is the date that matters this month.
The Grange's next event is already posted. The Holiday Market & Wreath Making is set for Saturday, December 5, 2026:
- Holiday Market, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.: local vendors, handmade goods and holiday gifts, festive treats and family activities
- Wreath Making, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: build your own fresh holiday wreath; tickets required, ordered through the Grange's event page
- Questions: [email protected] or [email protected]
The holiday market runs well past the usual 12:30 close, and wreath tickets are sold ahead of time. Anyone who wants a wreath slot has a reason to plan before Thanksgiving.
Halloween also shows up twice in the township this year. Plumstead Township's free Trick or Treat at Hanusey Park, 4757 Gordon Road, starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 24. Children collect candy from local businesses along the park's walking path, and a costume contest follows. A week later comes the Grange's Halloween morning. Families can make both, since one is a Saturday evening and the other a Saturday morning.
Following one vendor through November
The market page describes its tables broadly, so the best way to see where the food goes after October 31 is to follow a vendor who publishes a schedule. First Fruits Farm is run by Chris and Emily Molnar, who describe themselves as first-generation farmers. The farm is just up the road at 7364 Easton Road in Pipersville. It raises seasonal vegetables and berries, pastured eggs, 100% grass-fed lamb, pasture-raised chicken and forest-raised pork.
The farm says it's at the Plumsteadville Grange market every Saturday with meat, eggs and seasonal produce. Its event listing calls the Grange market "a wonderful place to stay and hang out," and mentions candles, tallow, soaps, plants and an artisan barn alongside the food.
When the Grange closes, the farm's Saturday doesn't. First Fruits also sells at the Doylestown Farmers Market, and the farm's own listing for that market runs through November 14, 2026. The Doylestown Farmers Market itself keeps going a week longer. Its 2026 regular season runs Saturdays through November 21, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., on South Hamilton Street between West Oakland Avenue and West State Street. After Halloween, the farm's Saturday meat and eggs move from the Grange lot to Doylestown.
The farm's meat also turns up on weekdays. First Fruits says its pork, lamb and chicken are stocked in the freezers at Trauger's Farm Market. The farm's page notes that Trauger's is closed Sundays in winter, so check hours before you drive over. The Ottsville Farm Stand carries the same meats in season but closes for winter. If you want a whole lamb, the farm takes those inquiries by email or social media. The farm doesn't publish a November or December pickup schedule, which makes the Trauger's freezer case the only year-round outlet it names.
The farm down Curly Hill Road never had a season
Markets follow the calendar, but the farms behind them don't stop. The clearest example in the township this year is Ensenda Holsteins on Curly Hill Road. Joshua Bishop and his family milk about 100 cows there and raise roughly 125 heifers and calves. In August, the Bucks County Conservation District named Bishop, a fifth-generation dairy farmer, the 2026 Fred Groshens Bucks County Farmer of the Year. The award was presented at the Middletown Grange Fair, BucksCo.Today reported, drawing on coverage from Patch.
The award honors farmers who keep their land productive and healthy for the long run. On the Bishops' farm, that has meant diversified manure storage, cover crops to build soil health, and a riparian buffer planted along the North Branch Neshaminy Creek to protect the water from runoff. In the BucksCo.Today article, district officials put it this way:
"The combined efforts of the Bishop family have had positive impacts on soil and water quality, while also helping the farm to become more productive and sustainable as a result."
The family also teaches 4-H members how to groom and show dairy calves at the fair. That's the same youth organization the Plumsteadville Grange lists among the groups using its hall. None of the coverage says where Ensenda's milk is sold, so it isn't on the shopping list below. What the farm shows is the working agriculture around the Grange, with cows milked every day of the year, long after the tents come down on October 31.
Saturday by Saturday, October 17 to December 5
Hellerick's Family Farm fills in the first half of November. Its 2026 hours page has the Fall Festival and Adventure Farm open daily November 1 through 15, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last admission at 3:30. General admission from September 11 through November 15 is $16.99 on weekdays and $19.99 on weekends, and a season pass is $39.99. October weekend closing times differ between sections of that page, so check the posted hours for any October visit.
Here's every Saturday in the stretch that the sources cover:
- October 17: Grange Farm Market, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. First Fruits Farm lists this date on its calendar.
- October 24: Grange Farm Market in the morning, then the township Trick or Treat at Hanusey Park from 5 p.m.
- October 31: Grange Halloween Market, the last market morning of 2026.
- November 7: Doylestown Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. First Fruits doesn't list this date, so check its calendar. Hellerick's is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- November 14: The last Doylestown date on First Fruits' listing, and the last Saturday of Hellerick's fall run, which ends November 15.
- November 21: The final Saturday of the Doylestown market's regular season.
- November 28: None of these calendars list anything for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. First Fruits says its meat is stocked at Trauger's, though it posts no winter hours or holiday-week stock for the store.
- December 5: Grange Holiday Market from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with ticketed wreath making from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
After that, the picture gets less certain. The Doylestown market's official schedule page still shows its 2025–2026 winter dates, and the 2026–2027 winter season hadn't been posted there as of mid-October. For now, the Grange's December 5 morning is the last confirmed local market date of the year.
Our team grew up with Saturday mornings like these, and we know how much the Grange lot, the wreath table and the farm stands up and down Easton Road shape a week here. If a change at home has you thinking about which part of Bucks County fits your Saturdays, The Walton-Winn Team would love to talk it through. Let's talk about your Bucks County home.
