Berkeley Farmer's Market Returns In A New Location

by Patricia A. Miller

The Berkeley Township Farmer's Market kicks off on May 10 in a new location with more vendors, Township Councilman Angelo Guadagno said.

This year, the market has moved to the parking lot of the Berkeley Township Recreation Center on Route 9 South. Last year the market was in the parking lot of Veterans Park off Forest Hills Parkway in Bayville. The new location is more accessible to drivers.

The market will not compete with any local businesses, since several of them - including the iconic Moore’s Farm Market in Bayville - and a local organic farm are participating, he said.

Other businesses will include Shore Shake and High Mountain Food, a gourmet food supplier known as the ”King of Mozzarelle,” new additions Colony Markt, La La's Gourmet Cookies, Lave Soap and Fire in the Hole BBQ.

Fire in the Hole BBQ! will serve serving pulled pork, hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ chicken, cheese steaks, cole slaw, fries, cotton candy, fried Oreo's, water, and soda.

"They are a great addition to our market and a great place to stop for lunch," the Facebook page states. Their web page is www.fithbbq.com.

Colony Mark provides fresh fruits and vegetables, GMO-fee products and organic products.

The Farmer's Market hours will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The market will run into October.
