The harvest season may be drawing to a slow close, but we are still here each Wednesday through October (please note: we do close at 6pm to accommodate the growing darkness).

Stop by for everything you need for the week: from fresh-picked apples and produce, to premade pesto, pickles and condiments, pasture raised meat and dairy, prepared foods like empanadas and flat breads, body care and jewelry, and even locally brewed beer.  

Don't forget to get on our vendors mailing lists so you can find your favorites all winter long! You can view and click on each of our vendors (in "Meet the Vendors" below) for more information and to find their websites.

MEET THE VENDORS

Throughout the market season, we have been introducing our vendors in our weekly Vendor Spotlight. This is a list of the vendors we’ve written about to date so you can learn more about them and what they have to share at market each week.

Happy fall!  The days are getting shorter, but Market is still going strong—all the way through October! This week we stay open until 7pm, so get here while you can because next week we close an hour early to accommodate the encroaching dark. But we love fall… we are in the midst of harvest season, and our booths are chock-full of autumn’s favorite flavors: from pumpkin spice, to apples, apples and more apples! Whether you’re at Hope Cress Farms (where you can buy them fresh) to Clyde’s (where you can find coveted fall ice cream flavors), you can find your apples almost any way you like them. Baked, browned, crisp, sweet… it’s that time of year, and you can bet the market won’t let you down. 

Stop by this Wednesday, and every Wednesday through October to get everything freshly harvested, as well as handmade cheeses, pasture raised meat and dairy, prepared foods, pickles and condiments, body care and jewelry, and even locally brewed beer.  

This week we host Ed Seifert & Bernie Stapleton at the music tent

We love late August… the warm days, cooler nights—summer is still in full swing, but there’s a crisp in the air that almost smells of early fall. Our favorite part of the season might just be that the Market booths are full of nature’s abundance. From seasonal flavors being used in a wide variety of our prepared foods, to fresh produce, everything you can imagine is here: tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, greens, fruit and so much more.  We also have a variety of handmade cheeses, pasture raised meat and dairy, prepared foods, pickles and condiments, and handmade products like body care and jewelry.

There’s no doubt about it. Summer is in full swing, and then some. We can tell because peaches and corn are back at the Hope Cress booth. There’s nothing that screams summer to us better than a freshly roasted ear of Jersey corn, or a ripe juicy peach that’s been ripened in the sun. Are you ready for market yet?

In addition to a growing array of other fresh produce, we also have microgreens, pasture raised meat and dairy, prepared foods, and handmade products like soaps, jewelry and more.

This week we host Marji Zintz at the music tent

In addition to being excited about Clyde’s homemade ice cream (we’re not sure how we’ve survived the heat without him), freshly made pesto at Pesto Joe’s, and all the yummy baked goods at Orlando’s and Muino’s, we are also excited to welcome a new vendor: Jessica’s Treasures and Treats. Jessica makes custom-curated baskets/boxes and charcuterie board gift packages. Please stop by Jessica’s booth to see what treats and treasures she has in store for us this week. The West Milford Chamber of Commerce will also be joining us to share all the great happenings around town, and how they help support local business.

Vendor Spotlight: Rosie’s Market

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT: Marji Zintz

As we approach our sixth market of the season, we're getting excited about the bounty of our local harvests. With so much growing, we have been receiving many generous donations from our vendors and community gardeners for local food pantries throughout West Milford. The abundance of the season may seem obvious, but it’s important to remember that access to healthy, fresh, and local food is not something that is easily available to everyone. That is why we are so grateful to the vendors and community members who are able to donate a portion of their abundant garden harvests, or who provide other pantry donations or monetary support.  

This week, we would like to thank Judy DeJosia of Growing With Food, for her generous and kind donation of fresh local produce this week. Please visit Growing With Food online and discover the amazing gardening programs Judy has put together. Thank you Judy!

Food insecurity is a growing concern, and one that is often hidden in plain sight. Please consider supporting those in our local community who are struggling to make ends meet by visiting the market welcome booth with a food or monetary donation that will directly help reduce food insecurity and improve healthy outcomes for our neighbors and friends. 

This week we host Bob Nicholson at the music tent

We also have our usual array of produce, pasture raised meat and dairy, prepared foods, and handmade products like soaps, jewelry and more. There will even be cool treats for kids of all ages. Keep reading for our list of this week’s vendors. 

See you at market!

Happy Independence Day!

We are wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday filled with celebration and loved ones.  

Don’t let the holiday trip you up, though… Wednesday is still market day!

In addition to the produce, prepared foods, and handmade products offered each week, we are very excited to announce that a new vendor, Pesto Joe, will have a booth at market for the first time this week.  Stop by to see what they offerand join us in wishing them a warm welcome. 

The Cheese Guy also returns this week for the first time this season. Don’t miss out on your favorite freshly cured cheeses, or perhaps discover a new one. Kids Korner will be in full swing and families will have the opportunity to make a take-home bug hotel using natural items and products. This is a creative and sustainable project that offers a glimpse into how nature actuall works!

Hope Cress Farms raises non-GMO, pasture-raised beef, pork, chicken and eggs, as well as produce and microgreens (learn more about what microgreens are, and how to use them HERE). Find every cut of meat, alongside fresh-grown, local produce, microgreens and lettuce at their booth each Wednesday. They even carry farm-fresh milk bottled in Sussex, NJ. Their pasture-raised animals are happier, healthier, and better-for-you, while maintaining the flavor and marbling of a well-loved steak. 

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT: Kyle Hancharick

It’s always been about the music for Kyle Hancharick, a singer/songwriter from Warwick, New York. His passionate performances are punctuated by a crisp acoustic guitar and soaring tenor vocals. This is best shown in his 2018 EP “Breathe,” a four song project consisting only of acoustic guitar, bass and vocals. And that’s all that’s needed for this artist whose roots are planted in contemporary folk music.

​Most recently, Kyle has begun work on his second full-length studio album, which is set to be released in 2023.

Kyle takes in the world, processes it and turns it into song with his own special touch. He continues to grow as an artist, sharing his story and messages of love and peace.

Due to the air quality conditions last week, opening day wasn’t as full as we had hoped. The good news is the air is beginning to clear, and this week’s weather forecast is beautiful for market day this week!

We hope that you’ll join us this Wednesday at the West Milford Presbyterian Church. We will be having a free gift basket giveaway with great goodies from Market (be sure to stop by the market tent to enter the drawing). Our Kids Korner will also be back with fun activities for the family. We have a full roster of vendors joining us, too. The full list is below.

In addition to fresh spring produce, find eggs, pasture-raised meats, all-natural body care, pickles and relish, bread, cookies, pastries and sweets at market this week. We’ve got you covered for dinner tonight, too: pizza, empanadas, flatbreads and stromboli, and plenty of desserts to please the whole family.

Welcome back!

We are so excited about Opening Day this week! Remember, The Market is at the West Milford Presbyterian Church every Wednesday through October.  

Grab the kids from school and then come grab your eggs, pasture raised produce, all-natural body care, pickles and relish, bread, cookies, pastries and sweets. And as usual, we’ve got you covered for dinner tonight, too: pizza, empanadas, flatbreads and stromboli, and plenty of desserts to please the whole family.

This week we host Bob Nicholson at the music tent

See you at market!

Yes! There is one more farmers market and it’s this week! Stop by and stock up on your favorites… yes, they’re all still here, from breads, cookies and desserts, to cool season greens and winter squash. Don’t forget we still have milk, pasture-raised meats and cheeses. There’s plenty here that will hold up well in your pantry, fridge or freezer so you can enjoy your pickles and condiments, frozen bar pies and aged cheeses all winter long… or for as long as they last (I’ll be eating my pickles asap). 

As an added bonus this week, you have one last chance to bring your knives and blades for sharpening with Phenix Sharp. Gather your kitchen knives, mower blades, hand tools and more and they’ll sharpen them at market while you shop.

We would like to thank our musicians for another incredible season. 

The music tent will return next season with more great music.

Although the market season will be ending after this week, we hope that you will visit our vendors at their storefronts, online and wherever else they will be stopping this winter. Visit our vendor page to discover our vendors, view their websites, sign up for their newsletters and see where you can find them until we see you again next spring.

Please note we will only be open until 6pm!

The days may be getting shorter and cooler, but we will still be here through the end of the month.

And as usual, we’ve got you covered for dinner, too: pizza, empanadas, flatbreads and stromboli, and desserts to please the whole family.

We would like to thank our musicians for another incredible season.

Remember, we are at the West Milford Presbyterian Church every Wednesday through the end of October. We don’t want you to miss out on all the winter squash, cool weather kale and greens, apples, cider and maple syrup. Plus we still have your favorite staples that have been here all season long.

It’s officially autumn!  And that means the best market days are yet to come. Don’t let the shortening days deter you, we’ll be here for a few more weeks yet, making this the perfect time to stock up on those fall favorites that will carry you through the holidays (and possibly all winter long). That means pumpkins and winter squash, apples and cider, maple syrup, onions and garlic… just store them in a cool dark place (and check them often while they’re there). There’s so much left to get, and you can practically smell the pumpkin spice in the air.  

This week we host Bob Nicholson at the music tent

And remember, with cooler weather comes a second flush of greens to accompany our pasture-raised steaks and eggs. So don’t forget to grab some of that spinach and kale you haven’t seen since spring. We also have all the comfort food fall has to offer, including quick-to-heat local meals to feed the fam on those crazy weeknights between homework and practice… as well as some summer favorites like ice cream and Italian Ice for those of us who are just not ready to let go yet.
