I met them both at the market when I visited and got a chance to talk with them quite a bit about their business, their roasting process, their coffee and tea, and the market itself. One of the main attractions at the market is Golden Valley Farms Coffee Roasters, whose roasting facility is attached to the market’s main corridor.įrank and Maryann Baldassarre have owned and operated Golden Valley Farms for the last 30 years. The market typically includes over 50 vendors and is open to the public. For those who don’t know, the Artisan Exchange is a collaboration of like-minded entrepreneurs who gather every Saturday, year round, to promote business and sell their hand-crafted, sustainable foods and other artisan goods. This past weekend I drove out to West Chester to check out the Artisan Exchange market.
