Market at the Fareway

8229 Germantown Avenue is home to Market at the Fareway, a year-round food market in Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill with roots as the former Chestnut Hill Farmer’s Market. The current market pairs a refurbished space with Chestnut Hill’s historic feel and centers its mix on prepared food, specialty vendors, and personalized service rather than a produce-only setup. With about 15 vendors and plenty of indoor seating, it reads as a place where you can shop for dinner, pick up coffee, or stay to eat in the same visit.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans heavily toward prepared food and specialty counters, with cuisines and formats that range from deli sandwiches to sushi, dumplings, barbecue, and baked goods. It is less a single-style farmers market than a compact indoor food hall with market vendors, coffee, and seats to linger over a meal.

Know before you go

Free parking is available in a lot off East Southampton Avenue, and there is also 15-minute pop-in parking for quicker stops. The market is set up to support lingering as well as errands, with benches, oversized colorful armchairs, and plenty of indoor seats for eating or taking a break. Dogs are welcome, and the market provides a bike rack plus two hook-ups and water bowls for dogs, which makes a short stop with a pet more workable than at many indoor food markets. Restrooms are not available, so plan accordingly before settling in. Clear payment methods are noted on site materials, and many vendors operate on Wednesdays and Sundays even when the market does not list full standard hours for every stall.
