Mark Your Calendar! Farmers Market is Back!

The Farmers’ Market Committee has started preparations for our thirteenth season! Mark your calendars- opening day is June 2nd, 2021! We will have new faces and veteran vendors returning! Do you know any vendors or local artisans who would be interested in joining the market this year? Let us know: sustainablewm1@gmail.com

We are continuing our Food Pantry Donation jar for the Presbyterian Church food pantry at the WMFM booth. We were grateful for all of the donations and support we received last season from the community and our vendors. The donations from community members were used to purchase fresh food and homemade goods from our vendors at wholesale prices. Your support is not only going directly towards the local families in need, but local small businesses as well!

We’ll see you this year from 3-7PM at the West Milford Presbyterian Church parking lot at 1452 Union Valley Road.

WM Farmer's Market for Food Pantries

We are so grateful for the opportunity to bring you fresh, local products and produce from small business owners in our community. We want to use our platform to provide local food pantries with some of the same high-quality goods. This week, we will be collecting monetary donations to use to purchase foods and products from our vendors to donate to the Presbyterian Church Food Pantry. Aside from providing us with a location to congregate, the church has been the second home to the Farmer's Market for the past few years. We are so appreciative of the services the church provides for us, so now it's time to support them and their mission to provide for others in need. We know times are hard for many of us, but if you can, please join us in supporting the food pantry at the WM Presbyterian Church this week.

WMFM COVID-19 Guidelines

During this time, it is important to have fresh, local produce readily accessible. The market might look a little different this year as we adhere to social distancing guidelines. We kindly ask you to abide by the following list of practices to best protect yourselves, shoppers and our community from COVID-19.

COVID-19 Guidelines for the West Milford Farmer’s Market

We will be limiting the number of shoppers in the market at one time as well as separating the vendor booths further from one another.

·        Enter and exit the market through designated entrances and exits and wait for a volunteer to tell you to enter.

·        Wear a face covering while in the designated market area.

·        Maintain six feet of distance between yourself and other shoppers.

·        Avoid unnecessary contact with products unless you intend to purchase them.

·        One shopper will be allowed to enter a vendor booth at a time.  Please wait for the person before you to leave the booth before entering.

·        Shop alone. Please do not bring children to the market during this time. Think of the market as an essential activity, not a social activity.

·        If you are sick, stay home.

·        Please consider using online services from our vendors to preorder your groceries, we will post a link for all vendors participating.

·        Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

·        Wash all produce before use.

·        Regularly wash or wipe down your reusable shopping bags.

·        Continue to wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.

Thank you for your help fighting the spread of COVID-19. The best practices and procedures are continually being updated. We will communicate any updates with you through our social media outlets:
