The Montoursville Farmers Market was held on Tuesdays in the parking lot of the Community Baptist Church in Montoursville.  On rt 87, just down the road from Herman & Luthers.  (This is the same church that holds BSF on Wednesday Mornings)

It is May, so in Pa, there are not a lot of things that have been grown locally and are ready for harvest, this time of year.  Especially in the cloudy rainy weather we have had.  There was just one produce stand at this festival, with a few of their items obviously being grown in a greenhouse, to be ready this time of year.  Still, there was fresh asparagus, lettuce, green onions, and some really nice tomatoes.

 

There was another stand with locally grown meats, and a couple with baked goods and home made rootbeer.  There as also a beautiful woodworking stand, and a couple of craft vendors, as well as a fudge stand.

 

At least in May, where this market excels is in lunch options!  There was chicken bbq being cooked on site, Misty Mountain Farm had hamburgers, cheeseburgers & cheese steaks, and more.  

All around this market, the prices were really reasonable!  I look forward to seeing this market later this summer, when more is in season.

==================

Sadly, Herman and Luthers no longer has their pizza here.  They do have a deli in the barn right down the road, you drive past it to get to this market - and their food is always fabulous.  

Just for the memories - here's the part of the post from when they had pizza:

Herman & Luthers have a stand of woodfired "Work Shop" Pizza.  This is a bit of a drive for me, but it's seriously worth it for just that pizza!

 

 

This Weeks Market Pizza

The Market Pizza is different each week, based on market ingredients.  I can't begin to tell you how much I love this idea.This week it was White Pizza with oak smoked brisket, goat cheese, alfredo, fossil springs spring onion & fresh herbs.  I'm not a big fan of goat cheese (even though I raise goats - go figure!) and yet I loved this pizza so much.  The brisket was incredible, and the goat cheese did not overwhelm the pizza.

We also got the We Put The Fun In Fungus, which was also fantastic - but now I'm wishing we had tried one with a red sauce..  oh well, guess I'll just "have" to go back.  :-)
