East Liberty Farmers Market

The Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty is a permanent, indoor farmers' market open every Saturday year-round, from 5 am to 12 noon. We are located in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, making us the only year-round market operation in our fair city. We are one of the only sources of locally grown meat and fresh produce during Pittsburgh's winter months. History and Background We are the oldest continuously operating market in western Pennsylvania. The first day of operation was July 5th, 1941- so we are over 70 years old. Being a "cooperative", the market is owned by the farmers. Historically, the market had a larger number of owners, but now the ownership group includes 4 active farming families. They are:

The Kennedy family- John and Val and their 3 children- operate the J. L. Kennedy Meat Stand

Rick Zang- owner of Zang's Greenhouse

Tim and Suzanne Hileman- owners of Kistaco Farm

Ina and John Greenawalt and children Brian and Melanie- owners of Greenawalt Farms

The market also includes a number of other vendors that help bring a diversity of products to the market each week.
