Hello, Vendors and Friends of the Collingswood Farmers’ Market!

Week 4 of our 2014 Season is the very different Mayfair Saturday.

As we do just once every year, we’re relocating to Irvin Avenue this week to accommodate Mayfair. For experienced vendors, this is no surprise; for newcomers, the dislocation will be startling.

VEHICLES ARE PROHIBITED

Vehicles cannot be driven into or parked on Irvin Avenue, which is narrower than our usual spaces. Instead, you’ll be parking in the lot behind the Kitchen Associates building and unloading by foot onto Irvin Avenue. DO NOT DRIVE ONTO IRVIN AVENUE.

SITE PLAN AND PAVEMENT CHALK

The Irvin Avenue Site Plan is attached.

In addition, David will be chalking the pavement squares with your initials to confirm which spaces you’ve been assigned.

GUEST VENDORS

Two guest vendors have elected to join us for this unusual week.

• This unusual week will be the second appearance at the Market for our  popular chocolatier, John & Kira’s Chocolates.

• Fruits d’Heritage will appear at the Market just once this season, bringing heirloom tomato seedlings in quickly degradable paper planting cups.

BID VENDORS

Mike DiBartolo will attend with his groaning tables of baked goods. Sara’s Produce will join him near the intersection of Haddon Avenue. They will be the only representatives of our BID contingent this week. As always, Mike DiBartolo, not David Hodges, is your contact for all questions regarding BID participation at the Market. (609) 949-3424. mikied721@gmail.com.

VEGGIE VALET / NONPROFIT FUNDRAISER

There will be no Veggie Valet or dedicated Nonprofits spaces this week. Both will return SAT MAY 31.

FLEXIBLE SITE PLAN

This week especially I will need vendors to be flexible and understanding as you set up your spaces. There is “air” in the site plan, since most smaller vendors are assigned to spaces at least a bit larger than usual. I will be on the site from 6am until 8am to facilitate the load-in, after which I will depart. Remain calm and sell a lot of stuff.
