Forecast for SAT JUL 20

Sunny again. And hot. And humid. July in New Jersey. ‘Nuff said.

Collingswood Section. To emphasize our own community’s food economy, at the west end of the Market, Collingswood food businesses have their own section to promote their contributions to the Borough’s vibrant food scene.

EMPANADAS FROM EL SITIO

Revolution Roasters 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. of Philadelphia has taken up the familiar bakery space.

Meat and Potatoes!

Susan Mauer Lynch (Yellow Room Upstairs). Meat and Potatoes! Susan has subscribed to the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) from A. T. Buzby Farm of Woodstown. This week, she paired their vegetables with a Beef Roast from Hillacres Pride and gave her grill a rest. She picks up her CSA box from the Buzby table, so everything for her recipe this week came from last week’s trip to the Market.

BASIL PESTO AND SQUASH BLOSSOMS

Stef Perna (treatbelly). Basil Pesto and Squash Blossoms. If you’re an exceptional talent like Stef, you can probably relate to this little anecdote: “I was inspired to make basil pesto and stuffed squash blossoms this past weekend using ingredients from the Collingswood Farmers’ Market. Basil bouquets and squash blossoms are available from Flaim Farms.” For the rest of us, to whom these inspirations do not occur, there are recipes, and beautiful photos, at Stef’s blog.

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.
