Come check out the Springfield Farmers Market! From now until October 30th the market will operate every Monday (11am – 6pm) at the Springfield Free Public Library Lawn (66 Mountain Avenue). Residents are encouraged to come by, browse the market, buy fresh produce, and meet our returning vendors. Even come by just to say hello. 🙂
Unique Snacks of America
Owner Martin Schwartz and his wife Rachel are back again this year selling all natural, quality products made by small businesses across the country. They have new products such as allergy free trail mix made by Absurd Snacks, fig and walnut bites from fichi, flavored nuts, and even a peanut butter made especially for dogs from Big Spoon. There is also raw honey made with wildflower in lemon or raspberry flavor from the company ZACH & ZOË; which has been featured on Shark Tank. Some old favorites are still available: honey lollipops made by a beekeeper in Maryland, handcrafted nut butters from North Carolina, fruit jams; some without sugar or some with cane sugar and so much more! The pair work with the businesses directly and many of those businesses use their sales to give back to the community.
You can find them on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date.
Alstede Farms
During the farmers market, residents can buy plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and baked goods from Alstede Farms including their famous Apple Cider Donuts, pure local honey, and more. The stand is just one of the many stands that Alstede Farms has at local farmers markets. Located in Chester, NJ, this farm is open to the public and has much to offer. They have mazes and trails to walk through, plenty of animals to see and a variety of produce and specialty items for sale. Next week the farm is having their Peach & Summer Harvest Pancake Breakfast event where you can enjoy a hearty farm-to-table peach pancake breakfast, a wagon ride, and spend the day picking your own fresh produce from the fields. There will even be a bounce house for kids.
