Farmers Market to open May 6

The West Windsor Community Farmers Market’s Opening Day kicks off Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Voted as New Jersey’s favorite farmers market last fall by the greater commmunity, the vibrant market is held weekly, rain and/or shine until the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Opening Day features a special “Cooln-Airy” culinary event with local artisans on site selling functional pottery, handcrafted wooden cutting boards, turned bowls, refurbished cast iron, vintage Pyrex as well as other kitchen related wares—perfect for Mother’s Day gift giving.

Farm and vendor offerings include seasonal Jersey Fresh produce and bedding plants, mushrooms, sustainably caught seafood, poultry, pastured eggs, freshly milled oats, pickles, sauces, jams, fresh pasta, goats milk products, cheese, breads, baked goods, pastries, pastured meats, vegan savory and sweets, Lebanese salads, Eastern European favorites, Indian simmer sauces and prepared meals, alpaca fiber wear, vegan chocolates, pesticide-free flowers, bone broths, a knife sharpener as well as on-site food trucks with crepes, fresh pressed juices, bagel sandwiches, hot coffee and teas.

“To see the community support for our pop-up main street each and every week is so rewarding; folks love to connect with their neighbors, chat with the farmers and makers directly, and experience a robust open-air grocery shop,” said market’s manager Chris Cirkus.

“The 18 farms and 29 vendors come from within 60-70 miles of West Windsor, allowing us to highlight and promote New Jersey’s rich agricultural heritage,” Circus said.

The WWCFM accepts SNAP/EBT and offers matching incentives towards fruit & vegetable purchases (up to $20 per market day). Several farms accept WIC/ FMNP/SFMNP

High school students and local community members are encouraged to volunteer with the WWCFM; please email manager@westwindsorfarmersmarket.org.
