Get Farm-Fresh Veggies And More ... And Right In Brick

If you’ve wished Brick Township had a farmers’ market, your wish has been granted.

Starting Saturday, April 25, Windward Beach Park will host a weekly farmers’ market from 9 a.m. to noon, township officials announced Tuesday.

It will run every Saturday until Sept. 12, except Fourth of July, weather permitting.

The Brick Farmers’ Market is being funded through a grant awarded to the township by the United States Department of Agriculture. The intent is to showcase farm-fresh produce and other locally produced foods such as pickles, relishes, pastries, baked goods and more. There will be flowers and plants in advance of Mother’s Day, according to a news release from the town.

“We are excited to bring a Farmers’ Market to Brick.” Mayor John Ducey said in the release. “This market will encourage the community to eat fresh and buy local.”

If you wish to participate in the 2015 market season as a vendor, or if you have other questions or comments, town officials ask that you call 908-489-0559.
