Palmyra Real Food Emporium

707 E Broad St. (at N Forge Rd. – Rte. 117 Ext.) Palmyra, PA, 17078

Welcome to Our Market Providing Locally Grown, Farm-Fresh Food

Our country is facing a major food crisis. Food quality has steadily been declining since World War II. We're losing farms and farmers at increasing rates and, for all intents and purposes, there is no next generation of farmers. We at the Palmyra Real Food Emporium want to control the quality and availability of our food. The Emporium is our answer to regaining control of our food system.

Join us in promoting a return to fresh food consumption. We're open Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. And we're on Twitter. Follow us there, too.Tom Maurer, Maywood Farm, Annville, Pa.
