Day tripping is one of the easiest – and probably one of the most fun – ways to explore Pennsylvania. It’s all the fun of a road trip packed into a single day of non-stop excitement or relaxation, whatever vibe we’re going for. With dozens of vendors, delicious food, and hidden treasures galore, this massive market in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania just might be the perfect day trip destination.
At first glance, you might feel a bit overwhelmed at the sheer size of Booths Corner Market in Garnet Valley. After all, it measures around 92,000 square feet; that's a LOT of space to cover.
You'll find ample room in the parking lot, but be forewarned. The market is only open on Fridays and Saturdays and gets extremely busy. Wear comfy walking shoes, and allow enough time for your visit.
Good news, though, this farmers market in Pennsylvania is open year-round.

A family-owned and run business since 1950, Booths Corner Market is all about family, with many of the vendors also run by families. Don't be surprised if you feel like part of the family, too.
You'll find all of the fresh fruits, veggies, and other goodies you would at your traditional farmers market, but Booths Corner is a farmers market and so much more. Some have even likened it to Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.
Bring a hearty appetite because you have more than two dozen booths and restaurants to check out. Sit down to a meal at TJ's Grill N Chill; treat your sweet tooth to homemade cookies, or sink your teeth into a taco from Epic Kitchen Tacos.
