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.


New to the Market?

General information about the Market, driving directions and Market locator, plus lots of details about our programs, vendor list, and policies, are available at our website.

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.

The Final Market for 2019

Rauch Poster

BRIAN RAUCH. You know him from his work with the Raising River Band. Or for his banjo picking style. (Or because you remember his earlier appearances at the Market in June and July.) We’re delighted to have him back for our final Market of the season.


This Week:
A few changes to last week’s siteplan.

  • Look for the second appearance of our new farm, The Shepherd’s Pasture. Last week’s favorite new vendor-mascot, Pistaschio the goat, was a big hit.
  • Our Opening Day artist Ann Fetterolf is back with her Enchanting Chains.
  • Cindy from Our Souls Shine will be back with tales of her adventures in Disney World.
  • Vincent’s Ice Cream will help us mark the end of the season with pre-packed ice cream from his High Street creamery.
  • Pinelands Music and Basketry is certainly welcome but not yet committed from the Mill Race Village.
  • Main Street Mount Holly will attend with new reusable Market bags for our shoppers.
  • McGregor Farm is back with farm-baked pies and their local produce.
  • Robin’s Nest will finish out the season with their soups, quiche, desserts.
  • We’re making room for the Fabulous Fig truck, for Specca’s Pick Your Own, and for Breaking Grounds coffee, but at this point, that’s just wishful thinking.

Market Bags


Load In

ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 2PM. THE ONLY ENTRANCE IS FROM HIGH STREET.
15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT FOR UNLOADING IN THE MARKET.

As you can see, the space is tight for the number of vendors, and getting in and out of our spaces will require planning and patience. Unless you have permission to park a vehicle inside the Market, you’ll have to drive carefully to your spot, unload VERY QUICKLY, then EXIT THE MARKET with your vehicle and set up when you return.


Click here for driving directions.

You can use (and tell your new customers to use) 2 High Street Mount Holly NJ
as a destination for mapping programs.


Contracts and Fees

Those of you who have not submitted your Application/Contract paperwork need to comply to remain active at the Market and to take advantage of the Fee Rebate Program.

Download the Application from the Mount Holly Contracts link at the top of this website. Complete the app in Word, in PDF, or on paper, and send it to Sean Kennedy, whose name and address are on the first page of the contract package.

FEE REBATE PROGRAM

Prepay your dates to qualify for Fee Rebates. Earn a full 100% rebate for table fees for every Market you attend. Prepay for 10 dates (for example), attend those 10 dates, and you’ll be refunded 100% of your fees at the end of the season.

DAY PAY VENDORS

Afraid of commitment? You can pay on Market day. The Market Director will have receipts for day-pay vendors who prefer the flexibility of paying when they attend, but no rebates can be earned without prepaid dates.


Facebook Promotion

We were very visible on Facebook last week. Not so much this week. If anybody wants to help keep us in front of the local shopping public, let David know you want to lend a hand. Click the link to see what we’ve been up to.

New Jersey Beekeepers (Mid-State Chapter)

Bees

FIRST TIME AT THE MARKET.
The New Jersey Beekeepers Association (Mid-State Chapter) will join us Saturday!

They’ll be selling raw blueberry honey made by bees who were charged with the duty of pollinating blueberry fields in Hammonton, NJ. This is not blueberry infused honey—it gets its subtle blueberry flavor from the natural pollination and nectar gathering process.

What to expect:
“We will have some other regional NJ honey to taste so people can get an idea of how the honey flavor changes based on the kinds of local flower nectar the bees forage. We’ll also have information about seasonal plants and trees that feed bees and other pollinators throughout the year. We will have hive equipment, natural beeswax, a fresh frame of honey, examples of DIY items using beeswax, propolis & honey with handouts of recipes & ‘how-to’s’ and lots of things for kids to look at, taste, smell, touch and as well as educational coloring pages to take home.”
