Picture Perfect.

Crisp temperatures that climb to the mid-60s by noon. Cloudy but dry. Could be breezy with winds to 11mph. Bring your weights and bungees.

Revolution Roasters and the El Sitio Grill have teamed up to form a new food-and-beverage café at the west end of the Market. Revolution handles the fresh-roasted beverages, while El Sitio provides fantastic Ecuadoran specialties including empanadas and Pan de Yuca (cassava cheese bread treats). Villa Barone features familiar favorite sauces, tasty zeppolis, sometimes their own fresh mozzarella. Sara’s Produce by special arrangement is the one source for produce NOT grown in New Jersey. Lost Bread Co. is not a Collingswood business, but it will take the location formerly occupied by Dulce and by Amber Grain bakeries beginning SAT MAY 18.

Skillet Asparagus

SKILLET ASPARAGUS

Susan Mauer Lynch (yellowroomupstairs). We’ve been blessed already with a beautiful early crop of fresh asparagus from several vendors at the Market including Springdale Farms, and Viereck Farms. Susan prefers the skinny stalks, but choose the size you like and prepare it simply, as she does, with butter from Hillacres Pride or ramp butter from Green Aisle Grocery, using her step-by-step instructions, guided by photos that make the mouth water. (A lidded-skillet is the secret.) https://yellowroomupstairs.wordpress.com/2019/05/06/simple-skillet-asparagus/

MOTHER’S DAY ASPARAGUS FETA RICOTTA TOMATO TART

Denine Gorniak (thebicycle-chef). Using local asparagus from Viereck Farms, Feta and Ricotta cheeses from Hillacres Pride, and local hot house tomatoes from one of several Market vendors, as Denine did, you too can make this rustic tart for Mom’s Mother’s Day brunch. Click through to Denine’s blog for the recipe, for beautiful step-by-step photo instructions, and—as a bonus!—a how-to for making a nifty vodka and fresh veggie cocktail to add extra festivity to your festivities. All that and a slide show of Opening Day!

TWO OUTSTANDING MARKET FAVORITES.

EAST STAGE MUSIC TENT. Trio Nova Duo. Familiar pop classics, plus tunes from many genres and epochs by guitar virtuosos. Smooth, catchy, always tuneful, they’re the duo that makes as much music as a trio.

WEST STAGE UNDER PATCO. Sam and Jacquie. We don’t have a picture of Jacquie, but if you were lucky enough to catch her performance last season, you know how well she and Sam work together as a team. Catch them live 9am-noon.

Small Bills and a Bathroom Key

Many of you know, but for those of you who don’t, I carry small bills for vendors who run out of singles during the Market day. For guest vendors who might not be aware, I also have a key to Perkins Art Center, a Market sponsor, the primary benefit of which, for our vendors is INDOOR PLUMBING!

VENDOR PARKING PERMITS

It’s good business to save the best parking spaces for SHOPPERS! Most visitors will tell you it’s tough to find parking at the Market. We make things worse by parking our own vehicles in spaces that could be used and re-used many times by shoppers. Please encourage your table crew to park for free in the Lumberyard Parking Garage (just across Collings Avenue from the west entrance). There are plenty of spaces inside, and the walk back to the Market takes 3 minutes.

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 have to move your location any given week.
