Playwicki Farm’s Spring Market Opens This Morning

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 26, 2026

Happy Sunday—the sun is finally holding its ground, and the smell of fresh mulch is starting to win out over the morning chill. If you’re looking for a reason to skip the indoor chores, the gates at the farm are swinging open just in time for a perfect spring walk.

📰 The Lead

The community garden at Playwicki Farm is officially growing. Following a surge in interest over the last two seasons, the township has finalized a plan to expand the plot footprint by nearly thirty percent. This move, discussed during the most recent municipal session, aims to clear a waitlist that has grown to its longest point in five years.

For residents, this means more than just extra tomatoes; it’s a commitment to preserving the agricultural character of the land amidst surrounding development. The expansion will include several "accessible" raised beds designed for senior gardeners and those with limited mobility, ensuring the space remains a multi-generational hub. Work on the new irrigation lines is expected to wrap up by the end of the week, just in time for the primary planting window.
