Vendor News

We have another week packed with mostly regular vendors. Schober Orchards has begun to expand with last week’s bounty of fresh peaches. They’ll be back with even more this week. Savoie and DanLynn, the two organic farms, had the busiest stands last week, though pretty much everybody sold out of most of their produce by day’s end.

Buy Jersey Fresh and Win a Barbecue Grill

Flaim Farms is running a raffle for three weeks. Shoppers earn one chance every time they spend $20. The grill is still in the box, which you can see at the Flaim stand. (Sharon says Home Depot will assemble the grill for the winner.)

Do You Take Credit Cards?

I’m planning to add an enhancement to the site plan to indicate which vendors process credit sales. Just tell me you’d like to be promoted and I’ll add a symbol to next week’s plan in your space(s).

End of the Specialty Berries

Both Blue Acres Berry Farm and Brookeberry Farm are done for the season. There will be berries at the Market, but not from the “berries-only” farms.

Guest Vendors

Otolith Sustainable Seafood will join John & Kira’s Chocolates in the Guest Vendors area this week.

Market Sponsor Lourdes Wellness will staff Veggie Valet!

Our generous sponsors have offered to staff our new Veggie Valet station for us. They’ve done so once before this season and we’re always grateful. Reminder to nonprofits who wish to attend the Market more than once a month: volunteering to staff the Veggie Valet is the only way to attend more often.

Cub Scouts, Ballerinas, and Activists.

This week’s nonprofit fundraisers could also be called “Water Ice, Ice Water, Food and Water Watch.” We’ll have local cub scouts, a nonprofit dance therapy studio, and the good folks who monitor the quality of the groundwater in the Garden State. Not to mention, the scouts will be painting faces!

BID Vendors

Mike DiBartolo, not David Hodges, is your contact for all questions regarding your appearance. Mike DiBartolo, dibartolobakery@comcast.net (609) 949-3424.

Flexible Site Plan

Changes will continue to occur throughout the season as vendors come and go and as we learn more about how neighbors interact. I remind you no spaces are ever guaranteed and require your cooperation if I move your location any given week.
