Headhouse Market

The biggest area farmers market is also its best. Not only is there a gratifying diversity of foodstuffs on parade, but the farmers can actually answer specific questions about their wares. Bonus: It might be the only marketplace in Philadelphia where the vendors are never, ever cranky. And just last week, the market's farmers agreed to move their tables back a few feet to give visitors like me more room to maneuver the oft-congested central aisle.
