This week at the Market

Week of July 28th, 2010

We are expecting fine weather for a change after last week's threatening and dangerous storms closed the market early. Special thanks to the market management team of Kathy Hack and Triscia Hennessy for their cool heads, hard work and courage!
Aside from the weather, the return of the West Milford Farmers Market has been a welcomed Wednesday activity by not only West Milford residents but folks from all over. Two weeks ago Cablevision interviewed a customer who came all the way from NYC to shop here at our market! Our talented local musicians have provided top-notch entertainment for our shoppers and all of our wonderful vendors continue to bring you the freshest and finest local produce and products. The Market is better than ever now with the addition of Hazelman Farms located here in West Milford! Rocky Hazelman will be at the market with some of his fine products including fruit plants and colorful potted plants.

The roduce season is in full swing so be sure to stop by and enjoy the LOCAL harvest! All of your favorites are available including fresh corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beets, carrots, squash, berries, apples, peaches, plums, and cherries, not to mention the best of breads, pastries, pies, prepared foods, pastas, sauces and more!

This week, enjoy live music by Marty Koppel. Visit the “Buy Local Corner” where you’ll find artist Suzie Blodgett of Green Elements offering eco-crafts and jewelry with special beach themed goods and gifts for the summer. Our local merchant is Flags and Silver, located in the A&P/Sears shopping center, offering flags, gifts, jewelry and more. Stop by the market booth the learn about the veggie of the week. Recipes will be available for download on the Recipe/Veggie of the Week page of our website.

Vision of the West Milford Farmers Market

The West Milford Farmers Market will build a stronger and more sustainable West Milford by creating a ‘one-stop’ opportunity for local residents and businesses to conveniently obtain and sell high quality locally grown and crafted products in a welcoming, informative and entertaining setting.

The West Milford Farmers Market will seek to be creative and innovative, but will at all times be guided by the following core principles:

All products available at the market will be high quality and produced and/or crafted by the vendors themselves in order to maximize the economic, environmental and social benefit of the Market to the local community.
West Milford vendors will be prioritized for available vendor spaces as they become available, but vendors outside the municipal boundary within a 75 mile radius of the Town will be permitted in the interest of providing a diversity of foodstuffs and goods to local residents.
The Market will serve as a community social resource, by providing opportunities for enhanced social interaction through regular entertainment and educational programs; e.g., performances by local musicians, and free tabling space for local non-profit, non-partisan entities.
