Collingswood SAT MAY 24
Hello, Vendors and Friends of the Collingswood Farmers’ Market!
Week 4 of our 2014 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. 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.
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.
GUEST VENDORS
Two guest vendors have elected to join us for this unusual week.
-
This unusual week will be the second appearance at the Market for our popular chocolatier, John & Kira’s Chocolates.
-
Fruits d’Heritage will appear at the Market just once this season, bringing heirloom tomato seedlings in quickly degradable paper planting cups.
BID VENDORS
Mike DiBartolo will attend with his groaning tables of baked goods. Sara’s Produce will join him near the intersection of Haddon Avenue. They will be the only representatives of our BID contingent this week. As always, Mike DiBartolo, not David Hodges, is your contact for all questions regarding BID participation at the Market. (609) 949-3424. mikied721@gmail.com.
VEGGIE VALET / NONPROFIT FUNDRAISER
There will be no Veggie Valet or dedicated Nonprofits spaces this week. Both will return SAT MAY 31.
FLEXIBLE SITE PLAN
This week especially I will need vendors to be flexible and understanding as you set up your spaces. There is “air” in the site plan, since most smaller vendors are assigned to spaces at least a bit larger than usual. I will be on the site from 6am until 8am to facilitate the load-in, after which I will depart. Remain calm and sell a lot of stuff.

Collingswood MAY 17, 2014
Hello, Collingswood Marketeers!
After what will certainly be a rainy Friday, Saturday’s (Marketday’s!) weather will be mostly sunny with a high of 73 degrees. Great outdoor shopping weather!
EVERYBODY IN PLACE FOR NOW
Nobody has to move at all this week.
MAYFAIR IS COMING
Next week, SAT MAY 24, is Mayfair in Collingswood. This week, SAT MAY 17, I’ll come around with an Irvin Avenue site plan. As we did last year, we’ll assign not just spaces but arrival times. Last year worked smoothly. This year will too.
CHEF DEMO
Whole Foods is a Market sponsor this year. As such, they’re permitted to make Sponsor appearances. Lucky for us, they’ve elected to use the opportunity to provide us a valuable Market experience. This week, on site, they’ll whip up a fresh pasta salad using asparagus and other local produce. The demo is scheduled for 10am in Space 24 by the new north entrance.
MUSIC ON TWO STAGES
Market favorite Dave Kelly will grace the East Stage, while to the West, the one-man band Little Stevie will work his mojo.
NONPROFITS AND FUNDRAISERS
The academic high achievers of the Collingswood Recreation Department’s Odyssey of the Mind team will make an appearance in Space 25.
CREDIT CARDS
Vendors who accept credit cards are identified on the site plan by cc. Please let me know if you’ve decided to accept credit payments this year. I’ll note so on the next plan.
BID VENDORS
Mike DiBartolo, not David Hodges, is your contact for all questions regarding your appearance. Mike DiBartolo, dibartolobakery@comcast.net or (609) 949-3424.

Collingswood MAY 10, 2014
Hello, Collingswood Marketeers!
MAYFAIR IS COMING
Already, after just a week in the new season, we need to start preparing for Mayfair. Next week, MAY 17, I’ll come around with an Irvin Avenue site plan. As we did last year, we’ll assign not just spaces but arrival times. Last year worked smoothly. This year will too.
NEW VENDORS
Weckerly’s Ice Cream is a brand new Guest Vendor. They’ll be bringing local-sourced and organic-ingredient ice cream and sorbets, small batch, hand packed, sophisticated flavors. Just as sophisticated, John & Kira’s Chocolates will be back too.
LIVE ANIMALS
Windy Farm will be back with live alpacas.
MUSIC ON TWO STAGES
Annual favorites She Hates Me! will grace the East Stage, while to the West, market veteran John Rossi will keep things lively at his end.

Camden County Animal Shelter will bring adoptable pets and fundraiser items to the Market Headquarters.

Collingswood MAY 03, 2014
Hello, Collingswood Marketeers!
Welcome back to South Jersey’s favorite Farmers’ Market! We’re as excited as you to be back for another wonderful season (maybe more so!).
Ribbon-cutting will occur promptly at 8AM! Mike DiBartolo of DiBartolo Bakery will be providing yummy treats.
SITE PLAN CHANGES
We’ve added an entrance to the Market along the north side (the sunny side) and relocated our volunteer tent (Friends of the Farmers’ Market—FOFM), the Veggie Valet tent, and the other weekly Market Activities venues (Sponsor, Nonprofit Fundraiser, and Artist of the Week) to the new Market Headquarters, spaces 21-26.
Look for the spiffy new blue-top tents with bold tomato graphics near the festive balloon arch where space 23 would be if there were still a space 23.
MOVED
Savoie Organic graciously accepted a relocation over the winter and will take up their new location in spaces 68 and 69, beneath the Speedline alongside the south entrance pedestrian walkway.
Cymron Cottage is also not where you might expect them. They’re in a familiar spot though: at the west end of the Market where the corn truck parks during corn season. Visit them for spring perennials and beautiful landscaping plants.
Davidson Mushrooms will be found much nearer the center of the Market.
Far Wind Farm’s pastured eggs have jumped across the new north entrance to take their place in space 16.
We’re grateful to all our vendors for their flexibility when site plan changes force us to make relocations.
NEW HEAD VOLUNTEER—TRICIA BURROUGH
After years of tireless service, Anne O’Donnell (now Anne Vogelmann) will no longer serve as the go-to Volunteer in Charge of the Friends of the Farmers’ Market, a job she did beautifully with the help of long-time volunteer scheduler Anne Carroll. This year both the Annes will be spending their Saturday mornings pursuing other parts of their busy lives, perhaps shopping at the Farmers’ Market (we can hope!).
In their place, Tricia Burrough has already begun the job of herding the many thoughtful volunteers who staff the FOFM tent, sell Market merchandise, run the Veggie Valet, and provide a sense of order and calm in a busy atmosphere. Seek her out this week and thank her in advance for the work she’ll do this season.
NEW VENDORS
New Guest Vendor Border Springs Farm will bring fresh or frozen lamb cuts for the first time in Collingswood. Revolution Roasters, who debuted last year as BID vendors, return this year in space 20 with their freshly roasted beans and cold-brew iced coffee.
RETURNING AS GUESTS
Market Day Canele
Green Aisle Grocery
Dee Dee’s Garden Pesto
TEMPORARY CANCELLATION
Fruitwood Farms’ crops are delayed for another week. They will return to their customary spaces near the west entrance next SAT MAY 10.
MUSIC ON TWO STAGES
Annual favorites Trio Nova Duo will christen the New Season on the East Stage, while to the West, market veteran Sam Caruso will keep things lively at his end.
NONPROFITS AND FUNDRAISERS
A walker in the upcoming Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk will be looking for sponsors in space 24. Space 25 is still available for a Market Sponsor appearance.
UPCOMING
The annual Mayfair will be with us before we know it! SAT MAY 24, we’ll be reorganizing ourselves along Irvin Avenue as we have since the Market began long, long ago.
CREDIT CARDS
Vendors who accept credit cards are identified on the site plan by cc. Please let me know if you’ve decided to accept credit payments this year. I’ll note so on the next plan.

Handmade Holidays Setup Instructions
Welcome Artists and Crafters. We’re delighted to host you for the 2013 Handmade Holidays event at the Collingswood Farmers’ Market.
Whether you’re a Market veteran or a Market rookie, these instructions will help insure a smooth arrival and setup during what can be a hectic hour. You’ll be moving into a Market that is already well established, joining dozens of vendors with their own customary locations, setup procedures, and traffic patterns. Take it easy, stay aware, and remember you are a guest.
Study your location
- On this blog you will find the site plans for all four November Saturdays.
- The “Recent Posts” category to the left of this post has links to all four.
- Study the plans for all the Saturdays you’ve scheduled.
- You may not be in the same place every week.
- Every space at the Market is full for the entire month.
- Not every vendor is coming every week so moves are inevitable.
- We’ve done our best to avoid bouncing you around.
- Some of you will experience more than one location.
- The first farm vendors arrive at 6am. You are welcome to arrive with them.
- Arrive no later than 7am. You need to be ready to sell at 8am.
- David will be on site wearing red and a Market cap and carrying a clipboard.
- See David first.
- DO NOT proceed directly to your space and put up a tent.
Have the latest plan with you
- This blog is easy to bring on your smartphone.
- The site plan is subject to change.
- The latest version is always live at the blog.
- If you bring a printed copy of your plan, be sure it’s current.
- Don’t be late, but call ahead if you’re going to be late.
- (856) 979-6653.
- When I answer, I will be busy with someone who’s on time.
- Remain patient.
Drive the right direction
- Traffic is ONE WAY, west to east.
- The top of the site plan is the entrance.
- Spaces 50-89 may drive into the Market with care.
- Spaces 1-49 do not drive into the Market.
- Spaces 1-49 load from the “back” of their spaces.
- Market space numbers are marked with chalk on the pavement.
- Market spaces are parking space dimensions, 10 feet wide by 16 feet deep.
- Lines are drawn diagonally, but your spaces are square.
- The Market provides space only.
- Bring your own tables and tents.
- November can be windy; tents require weights for safety.
- Plan your displays so that your products don’t fall or blow away.
Unload quickly
- The “drive” down the middle gets very congested.
- At most, you have 15 minutes to unload.
- Stay to the side to permit others to pass.
- Park your vehicle outside the Market when you have unloaded.
- Don’t even think about parking your vehicle in your space.
- Be smart; Park far.
- If you take a prime parking spot for four hours, customers can’t use it.
Be a good neighbor
- The Market is a wonderful community of vendors who cooperate.
- You will be most welcome if you are considerate.
- Put the needs of others first and we will all succeed.
Collingswood SAT NOV 23
Hello, Collingswood Marketeers!
HANDMADE HOLIDAYS NOV 23
On this, our final week of the 2013 Market season, SAT NOV 23, we’ll wrap up both our produce sales and this year’s edition of the Handmade Holidays art and craft bazaar. Most of this week’s new vendors are back for repeat visits, but four will be making their very first appearance, so there may be just a bit of messiness at move-in and setup.
HANDMADE HOLIDAYS SET-UP PAGE
Artists and Crafters please see the blog post titled Handmade Holidays Setup Instructions.
NO VOLUNTEER TENT. NO MUSIC TENT.
David will be your only source for assistance.
NO CONTESTS, NO FEATURED ARTISTS
The season has ended for special weekly events.
