Meet you at the Market
The Bellevue Farmers Market is a community nexus, bringing together food, families, and fun!
Make a Better Bellevue.
The Bellevue Farmers Market started in 2017 under the direction of a group of residents. They realized a charming, walkable community like Bellevue, PA deserved to have a market that was as exciting and dynamic as the town itself. The goal of the market is to create a central point for the community that is accessible to all.

FAQ For the 2020 Market Season
How will the market be different this year?
In addition to starting our market season six weeks later, we’ve made a few additional changes from our past markets. While we expect to return to the market you love in 2021, we are making the following adjustments through the 2020 market season:
- Location: AHN Suburban General Monroe Parking Lot (map)
- Hours: 4 pm through 7 pm
- No food trucks, entertainment, or other extras on-site
Will masks be required?
Yes. In addition to following governmental mandates, we are maintaining a focus on the safety of our community, vendors, and volunteers. If you cannot shop with a mask, we can have a volunteer shop in your place from a list.
I've heard you are matching SNAP (or Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, WIC) benefits. Is that true and how does it work?
Yes! Thanks to the generous funding of our neighbors and the foundation community, we will provide a dollar-for-dollar match for benefit programs (SNAP, P-EBT, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, WIC) for the 2020 market season, valid only at Bellevue Farmers Market. Additionally, Just Harvest has expanded its SNAP match program to a dollar-for-dollar match on eligible products.
For more information about how the program works, visit the market booth, or review the procedure at https://bit.ly/bfmsnap.
Will you have food trucks?
We are operating our market as if we were in “yellow” throughout the 2020 season, meaning that we will not be hosting food trucks this year. We strongly recommend that you take advantage of the excellent take-out and dine-in options. Look for market specials at our local eateries!
Why are you not at Bayne Park?
We love Bayne Park as much as you do, but we had two issues with using the park for the 2020 season:
- Bayne Park is currently reseeding the lawn, which needs a full season to take. Having the Farmers Market at the park would have nullified that investment.
- Given the unpredictable nature of Covid-19 and the chance that spikes might result in additional cases, we wanted to have a location that could be sustained throughout our market season in almost any situation. Since Bayne Park would be closed under “yellow” guidelines, we would be forced to find an alternate space, and make significant changes in logistics, in short order. We decided to make a permanent move for the 2020 season while anxiously awaiting our market to return to Bayne in 20201.
