Retail vendors are available offering unique products unavailable in stores. Regulars are easily noticeable walking towards their regular vendor spending a considerable time amount with their favorites taking their day slow exploring the days live music or fun activities offered that Saturday enjoyed by adults, kids & families alike. One day I will partake in the full mid morning to afternoon experience enjoying everything this farmers market has to offer. My sister Introduced me to Swissvale farmers market 2 years ago & since have enjoyed vendors and stalls offered that Saturday. On occasion vendors rotate & new ones take their place that Saturday or become a permanent fixture. I suggest enthusiasts follow their favorite vendors on social media or the web as select vendors attend other farmers market venues and or are available online. Judging by stalls presenting fresh produce, farmers in attendance take pride in their crops & offer customers their best. My favorite stall offers concord grapes & ripe blueberries. Enjoying throughout the week as a smoothie or in cereal my fruits remained flavorful. My future purchases will include in addition to my tradition grapes & berries will be tomatoes green beans, apples & cider. Farmers here are informative reguarding their crops & will show customers friendly service & recommend their best crop. Advantages shopping the stalls over grocery stores are price supporting local farmers & quality. Customers who receive EBT are included with workers' swiping cards & recipients receiving wooden tokens in exchange & valid at stalls & select vendors. Local musicians liven up the atmosphere adding a fun ambience to the experience. My sister participated in one Saturday's fun activity which included sidewalk chalk drawing. Everyone who participated made wonderful artworks fascinating me with color variety & designs. Partaking in different vendors 3 favorites of mine included Great Harvest Bread Company Pita Land & Livengood Brothers Maple Syrup. Pepperoni Rolls & Cheddar Biscuits from Great Harvest Bread tasted best. Cheddar Biscuits got set aside & had during breakfast on Sunday & warmed up enjoying a buttery soft dough with cheddar flavoring consistency putting Red Lobster to shame & would recommend eating as a sausage biscuit or Biscuits & gravy. Maple Syrup at its finest offering superior flavor complimenting french toast pancakes, other breakfast delights or any recipe requiring syrup. Selling healthy alternatives to any potato chips or nachos. Pita Land sells Pita chips & paris with Hummus or select dips available at select vendors or stores. In addition to farmers markets Pita Land chips retail at select stores if you run low previous to Sat & crave Pita Chips. Excited with anticipation My return is evident exploring other vendors & stalls present. Include a favorite vendor in your review if you wish. Recommending other farmers market enthusiasts & myself to shop with.

Who's to say you can't praise the Lord from a parking lot lol! 2016 marks the 15th year of the Forest Hills Farmer's Market. The event is sponsored by the Late Bloomers Garden Club of Forest Hills and features all local vendors. A few of my favorite vendors are Gosia's homemade pierogies, Billy's Smokehouse for delicious smoked meats and Bridges Farm for fresh fruits and veggies. Also, be sure to stop and grab a delicious cupcake from Jill at her Baby Cakes stand. Other vendors have items like kettle corn, brick oven pizza, fresh salsa, wines, cakes, baked goods and more! The market runs every Friday from June-Oct from 4-7p.

So if you're looking for a quick snack you can always go there!

I've been pleasantly surprised by the selection and quality of the produce! They don't have a ton of packaged vegan products, but they do carry soymilk, nondairy butter, and tofu. They also have a couple things I don't typically find at Aldi- like the amazing Sweet Chili Dorito's! Overall I really do "save a lot" here- my grocery receipts are on par with, or even a little below, Aldi prices. I'm so glad I stumbled across this spot and it's now part of my typical grocery rotation!

Unfortunately this is the Giant Eagle closest to my house, so if we are trying to do quick grocery…read moreshopping this is where we wind up. If we are doing a bigger trip or out anyway we will typically go to the Monroeville Giant Eagle. This store tends to be a little dirty and can look run down. I almost never see an employee out anywhere in the store. This could be bad if you need to ask for help of any sort. The selection here isn't the best. However I know this is just a small store and I can't get everything we need here. Normally I see at least one item out in the produce section with mold or that is rotting. Also the fresh herbs tend to be very picked over. Checking out here is never a good experience. Most of the cashiers seem to be distracted and busy with their own things, not helping customers. Also, without fail, I always seem the underwear or butt crack of at least one employee. This should not be the case in their place of work. We will try to do self-checkout to save time but often there will be difficulty with a coupon or the scales. We usually have to go and track down an employee to assist us. This should not be the case. We shop here when we need to but this store leaves a lot to be desired.

This location is tucked away in the hills and if you do not happen by, you wouldn't notice it. It's…read morein a shopping plaza with a dollar store, laundry, high school/middle school, beer store, liquor store, rent to own, Chinese takeout, etc. The area is bit seedy overall. The small vegetable section often displays wilted or rotten vegetables, so I recommend looking very carefully. It has a full selection of items appropriate for the size of the store. Prices are pretty high (this is true for GE in general), in comparison to the Aldi down the hill from there. Another reason they receive two stars from me is because young sullen and brusque cashiers seem to want to spend more time talking to each other and socializing, instead of paying attention to the customer. Overall the shopping experience is C- and I avoid the place as much as possible.

Stopped in here with my smoothie-loving tween daughter for a little midday treat. After finding out…read moreit was our first time there, the lovely woman working the counter gave us the rundown of the menu and then let us sample several of their most popular juices. While we enjoyed everything we tried, the surprising favorite was the beet juice - the sweetness perfectly balanced the earthiness of the beets. We ordered a Triple Berry Blast (with frozen mango subbed in for banana) and the Gym Nut with some protein powder added. Both were made quickly, and we were both impressed by how flavorful and delicious they were. Having never been in here before, I was surprised by the breadth of the menu. We were already talking about how we'd like to come back and try the smoothie bowls and I also have my eye on the toasts!

She ranked them in order from least sweet to most sweet and described each one and asked for our preferences. She also customized my order when I told her I didn't love a strong pineapple flavor. The ambiance was very cute and trendy! We took our order To Go but there were a few small tables if you wanted to drink there! The drinks were on the pricy side but that was to be expected - I think we got two smoothies and a juice and it was around $30. We got the juice because there was a package where we got it for 1/2 off. We ordered the Glow Getter and the Blue Dream smoothies. Both tasted amazing! The next time we go I would definitely get the Glow Getter, but the Blue Dream had a lot of pulp in it, which I didn't personally enjoy. If that doesn't bother you then you would enjoy it!

The food was delicious, the staff were amazing, and overall it's such a special place tucked right in the neighborhood. A must-visit for any Mac fan (or sandwich lover)!
