A Community Farmers Market will be held again this summer on the campus of Atlantic Christian School, featuring a variety of local farmers, food vendors, artists, and crafters. The market will be open on Saturdays in July and August from 9 a.m. to noon.
ACS first launched a Community Farmers Market on its campus last summer that attracted close to 1,000 visitors and featured 53 different vendors over the course of the summer. This coming summer, the market is being run by a local business — Just Organics Marketplace and the Honey Tree — instead of ACS staff.
“We’re very excited that a local business has stepped up to run the Farmers Market this summer on our campus,” said Carole Karabashian, ACS Director of Development and Communication. “This market is a blessing to families in and around Egg Harbor Township and we are certain that even more people will come out to buy fresh produce and other items.”
Karabashian said the ACS Garden Club also plans to have a table at the Farmers Market to sell produce from the school garden. ACS band students have also been invited to perform during on one of the market dates.
