Start a shopping list!

• Pooch and Pawsome
  —The wonderful human-grade dog biscuits (and the company) have a new name! Welcome back Melanie Moore with her new branding.

  —Although they’re just a small part of what this farm grows, the microgreens they’ve been bringing to the Market are making a big name for themselves.
• Brookeberry Farms Organic Berries

  —Things your garden might need without knowing it. Tim and Lindsay Ifill of Collingswood are bringing native species to the Market including butterfly and purple milkweeds, coneflowers, blazing star, coral bells, and hairgrass. Honestly, you just need to stop by and put names to these plants.
• Red Oak Permaculture
  —In addition to bringing compost, and compost worms!, plus sustainability plans and advice, the guys of Red Oak are the go-to place to lay hands on a compost bin or rain barrel. Costs are subsidized by the Borough for Collingswood residents.

CRUSTLESS BLUEBERRY PIE

Susan Mauer Lynch (Yellow Room Upstairs). Crustless Blueberry Pie!. Don’t worry. The cinnamon, sugar, flour, butter, and eggs that make a crust so wonderful are all still in there: they’re just blended with the blueberries, which are all over the Market this week, at AT Buzby, Muth Family Organic Farm, and Springdale Farms among others. Follow the link to Susan’s blog for the step-by-steps and more drooly photos.

Cauliflower Almond Pesto

CAULIFLOWER ALMOND PESTO

Stef Perna (treatbelly). Cauliflower Almond Pesto.

Nutty buttery cauliflower is abundant at the Market right now and so are the many ways of bringing it to the table. Stef Perna got hers at Muth Family Organic Farms and paired it with almonds to create a pesto you can finish with capers, sundried tomatoes, or garlic scapes from Savoie Organic (they have plenty!) and use to grace your favorite pasta hot or cold.

Bag Reduction Program

Small Bills 

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.

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.
