By now, you may have picked up on the fact that we love local food, and the spring season is so much fun because every weekend, another farmers market is opening for the season, bringing with it all the goodies we dream about all winter long.

3. Carversville Day
Saturday, May 30 from 10 am to 3 pm at Carversville Square, Aquetong & Carversville Roads, Carversville, PA
Carversville is a great little village tucked away in the winding back roads of Bucks County. Every year, the town hosts Carversville Day, a day filled with food and fun, laden with traditions like the annual Carversville Pet Parade, a white elephant sale, a cookie contest, and more.
There will be craft vendors, a plant sale, a moon bounce, live music…. they’ve got it all. Oh, and the fare includes crab cakes, tacos, and fresh-squeezed lemonade, which we would go for even without all of the extra fun activities.
4. Eat, Bark & Bid Farm-to-Table Dinner to benefit Lulu’s Rescue
Saturday, May 30 from 5 pm to 9 pm at the Michener Art Museum, 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, PA
This night sounds fabulous: a farm-to-table dinner cooked up by Max Hansen Kitchen (oh so good), an open bar, live & silent auction, music from New Hope Collective, and even visits from some four-legged guests. The fun benefits Lulu’s Rescue’s continuing efforts to rescue all healthy and loving dogs from death row and break the cycle of animal homelessness through spay/neuter, education, and outreach efforts.
