important. “All of our other farmers and vendors are New Jersey-based, as far as we can get,� said Pruden. “Griggstown Market is right across the canal.� Maybe most importantly, it’s become a community focal point. “Montgomery doesn’t have a downtown, except for Saturday mornings at the farmers’ market,� said Pruden. “That’s where people come, they greet their neighbors, we have coffee, we have music, we have pastries.� As the farmer’s market sits nearby The Village Shoppes, a local strip mall, the market brings business beyond local farmers to the rest of the community at large. While the focus of MFOS’s land preservation has been on saving natural spaces from explosive tract development and maintaining the stability of natural elements like water quality, the public-friendly natural lands have had several benefits for local residents. “Sometimes, people come to our area and visit just for the open space,� said Sarah Roberts, president of MFOS.

Focused on preserving local land and running a weekly farmers’ market, the nonprofit allvolunteer organization has helped bring thriving Montgomery businesses together, while creating a homegrown community hotspot. “There’s a thriving, healthy farmers’ market in New Jersey,� said Lorette Pruden, farm market manager of MFOS. “It’s grown by leaps and bounds.� Pruden has been a part of MFOS for years, and has worked hard to maintain a high standard of quality. “We are very particular that the farmers that come to our market grow what they sell, and that is not always true of so-called farmers’ markets. Most people don’t know that.� In the past several years, the farmers’ markets have expanded to include multiple kinds of local businesses and products, including meat, dairy, fish, and more: the Stockton-based WoodsEdge Wool Farm brings both sheep and alpaca wool products for sale, for example. To Pruden, keeping the farmers’ market local is
