Cloudy Cows for SAT JUN 08

Once again, the only blemish on a perfect looking forecast is cloud cover. Seasonal temperatures that start in the comfortable mid-60s for setup, climb to almost 80 by noon. Cloudy but dry. Light breeze. Shopping weather.

ARTISAN LOAVES FROM LOST BREAD CO

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 inside the BID section. Fans of the delicious spinach and pepperoni strombolis from DiBartolo Bakery will find them, not in the BID section, but at the Tortilla Press café at the east end of the Market.

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.

MAYFAIR!

Week 4 of our 2019 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, the annual town-wide block party that attracts maybe 50,000 participants to Haddon Avenue. 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

A few vendors have made appointments with David to arrive at particular times for very brief vehicle access. Unless you have a scheduled time to use your vehicle, park in the Kitchen Associates lot and walk your setup.

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.

No Veggie Valet / No Volunteers / No Music / No Dog Tent

There will be no Veggie Valet, no Friends of the Farmers’ Market, no Live Music, no Dog Tent, and no dedicated Nonprofits spaces this week. All will return SAT JUN 01.

Weather Too Good to be True.

This looks to be another gorgeous spring Market day, the fourth out of four already this season! Temperatures will climb to the low 70s by noon. Mostly sunny and dry. Light breeze. Cows are happy. Again. Shoppers are plentiful.

I will be on the site from 5am until 8am to facilitate the load-in, after which I will depart to visit the Rittenhouse Square and West Windsor Community Farmers’ Markets.

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.

SCRUMPTIOUSNESS FROM THE CONSTELLATION COLLECTIVE

REVELATION CAFÉ! Local food heroes Revolution Roasters and the Constellation Collective have teamed up to form a new food-and-beverage café at the west end of the Market. Pull up a chair in their seating area and enjoy locally-roasted coffee and breakfast treats.

Villa Barone. Fresh breads and recently pizza from this Haddon Avenue Collingswood restaurant’s brick oven, sauces and prepared items from the kitchen, and the very popular zeppoles make this a must-visit table.

Sara’s Produce, by special arrangement, is the one source for produce NOT grown in New Jersey. They are mandated to bring us the “exotics” so our shoppers won’t need to go to the supermarket for an avocado or a lemon.

SQUASH POCKET SCONE

Susan Mauer Lynch (YellowRoomUpstairs).
Squash Pocket Scone

Ricotta cheese and mascarpone; cinnamon, ginger and sugar; egg, butter and flour; and the special Market ingredient: winter squash puree from one of several farm vendors this week. Judging by the color of the filling here, we’re looking at a butternut. But you get to choose. It’s your scone! Follow the link for recipe, complete instructions, and more beautiful photographs (plus insights into the Mauer Lynch family!). https://yellowroomupstairs.wordpress.com/2018/11/08/squash-pocket-scones/

In the Dog Tent
Voorhees Animal Orphanage

ADOPTABLE FOREST

Voorhees Animal Orphanage.

The wonderful people of the Voorhees Animal Orphanage will be staffing the Dog Tent for us this week, sharing stories of rescuing needy animals at extreme expense. They’ll distribute the essential Official Market leash to your 4-legged companions, and introduce you to adoption possibilities. We don’t know who they’ll bring, but we’d like to meet Forest, a 9-year-old Chi mix who is absolutely adorable! He is a sweet little low-energy guy who prefers napping in the sun. His perfect home would be with a retired person and a little yard of his own. Ask about Forest and many other adoptable animals at the Dog Tent.

Handmade Holidays

HANDMADE HOLIDAYS 2018

For the final three weeks of the Market (after the first of the farms have departed for the season), we celebrate local art, craft, and original handmade items sold by the hands that make them. No resale, no thrift items; these are quality juried crafts and specimen art pieces (some practical, some whimsical, all eminently giftable)!

Cloudy, small chance of showers.

Temps start and stay in the 50s from the opening cowbell to the closing cowbell. Breezes pick up to a worrisome 18mph during breakdown, so tent weights will be essential.

“What to do with all that Squash!”

If you’ve been following Susan’s posts from the Market, you know she’s a tireless patron of our Jersey Fresh farms and reliable for her real-world recipes. If you’re not a fan, where have you been!? This week she’ll tell you how to bake, roast, and make fries of your winter squash; how to turn it into soup, even how to pretend you care about nutrition when what you really want is a tasty snack cake!

SUPER COOL ADOPTABLE PAUL

Animal Welfare Association of New Jersey (AWANJ)

The wonderful people of AWANJ will be staffing the Dog Tent for us this week, sharing remarkable stories of rescuing truly needy dogs from the brink of disaster at extreme expense. They’ll distribute the essential Official Market leash to your 4-legged companions and introduce you to adoption possibilities. We don’t make promises, but we’re hoping to meet Paul, a 2-and-a-half-year-old pointer mix who, with a bundle of energy, considers himself “the life of the party.” Come and meet the AWANJ team, and perhaps a new member of the family, at the Dog Tent.

No Music in November

THANKS TO TED VELYKIS OF COLLINGSWOOD MUSIC

We don’t book Music for the Market in November.

Too often, even if the skies are clear, the temperatures are at odds with finger-picking, keyboard playing, vocal-cord-a-lizing, even guitar strumming. Thank you, Ted Velykis of Collingswood Music, for providing the Music Tent, acquiring our audio equipment, and booking the talent for our west stage. Thank you, Anne O’Donnell Vogelmann, for booking the Music Tent talent for more than a decade.
