Vendors
Please enjoy getting to know our vendors a bit here, as it is hard on a busy market day to get this kind of information! Our vendors are all proud of their products, and are happy to answer questions either at market or via phone/email as listed below. All of our vendors are from Pennsylvania and are, as per our bylaws, located no more than 75 miles from the market. Market rules state that the only items for sale at the market must be grown or made by the person selling them. Thank you for your support!
Backyard Bison
Rodney Wieder
685 Crowthers Road
Coopersburg, PA 18036
610-346-6640
We have been with the Emmaus market since it began in July 2003. We bring our USDA inspected American Buffalo meat to the market in our freezer trailer. We sell burgers, steaks, roasts, ribs, jerky, and sausage. We follow the Native American tradition to respect the Buffalo, by not wasting anything, so we also sell the hides, fiber, bones, etc.
Our farm is only 11 miles from Emmaus (about a 20 minute drive) and our farm store is open year-round on Saturdays. Five generations of my family have lived on this farm.
We raise our Bison with care on our pastures and we do not use hormones, antibiotics, or commercial cattle feed. Our Bison meat has many outstanding qualities; it is very lean compared to beef, but it is still nice and juicy. Bison is also tender, with a slightly sweeter taste than beef, and is not wild or gamey tasting. We have cooking tips and recipes available if needed.

FiddleHen Farm is a diversified family farm located in Longswamp Township, Mertztown, PA. Our goal is to produce "Good. Fresh. Local. Food.", including prepared foods (soups, sandwich-style barbecues, quiche, to name just a few), all-natural eggs, pasture-raised chicken, pasture/woodland-raised pork, herbs and vegetables, in addition to pottery and art, and an ever-growing list of farm-based items. We are always working to bring our customers the freshest, locally-grown foods and creative products, so please check in often to learn of newly available items or make suggestions.
At FiddleHen Farm, we strive to integrate all aspects of the farm to compliment one another and promote sustainability: any unused milk, eggs, or garden items are given to the pigs to be converted to pork – the pigs, dairy goats, and chickens add to our compost to create rich fertilizer for the gardens and pastures – the goats clear brush to expand our pastures for the chickens and pigs. FiddleHen Farm is a true family operation where we enjoy the work and continually try to improve the land as well as our products. Customers are always welcome to visit the farm, learn about our methods, and see how our animals are raised.

Gottschell Farm is a family farm located in Coopersburg where we grow vegetables, flowers and herbs on about an acre of land using intensive farming methods. We use crop rotations, cover crops, green manures and compost to maintain healthy soil and healthy crops. We do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides to grow any of our products. Diversity of crops allows us to minimize our losses and we grow over 40 types of vegetables, 20 types of herbs and 50 types of flowers. Our crops are hand harvested at the peak of ripeness and sold at an on-site farm stand, farmer’s markets, a CSA and restaurants. The farm was started in 2007 when we moved here from Philadelphia where we ran an urban farm. We started farming in 2002, interning at a certified organic farm. The small size of our farm allows us to own it, oversee all the operations of it and do much of the work by hand.

We specialize in unique and heritage (antique) varieties of tree fruit, including over 70 varieties of apples, 50 kinds of plums, plus Asian pears, peaches, and nectarines. The farm was started in 1992 on a leased parcel of ground. In 2006, we bought our own property, where we planted new trees and expanded into vegetable production. Our vegetables are grown using all organic practices, although we are not certified. Our fruit is grown using a combination of organic practices and IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
As long-time members of the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, we strongly believe in the local food movement as well as sustainability. To us, sustainability means the successful combination of growing practices that are in tune with the environment as well as the safety of farm workers and consumers. A sustainable farmer is also able to make a decent living, including the ability to save for retirement, have health insurance, and be able to offer those quality-of-life items to farm employees.
