ACS Farmers Market Opens for Business on June 18; More Vendors Signing Up to Fill Summer Saturday Schedule

Our ACS Community Farmers Market opened for its first market date on Saturday, June 18 under sunny skies and a steady stream of visitors and well-wishers, including Egg Harbor Township Mayor Paul Hodson, who were eager to check out the first-ever summer long Farmers Market located in Egg Harbor Township.

“We are very grateful for the five vendors who came out to be the pioneers for this new event,” said market manager Arzum Sanchez.  “Every vendor did well today and said they are looking forward to coming back.”  Sanchez said there will be more than double the number of vendors at the next market date — this coming Saturday, June 25.  “We anticipate having more vendors at our market every week and we encourage our school families, friends, Township residents, and people across Atlantic County to come out to shop and enjoy the market,” Sanchez said.

Vendors can sign up at any time and can register for one market date or multiple dates up until August 27.  There is no market date on July 2.

The after-school Garden Club also expects to have a booth in July and August to sell organic produce grown in the school garden, including squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce.

The vendors at Saturday’s market, who plan to be at upcoming market dates, were:  April Made for Kitten Aid; Busy Bees NJ in Cape May Courthouse; Root Cellar Tavern in Dorothy; Smith Poultry Farm in Williamstown, and Thirty-One Gifts.

Help us grow our ACS Farmers Market by signing up as a vendor and making plans to come and shop at the market.
