First-Ever Marlboro Farmers' Market Opens This June

MARLBORO, NJ — A long-awaited farmers' market is coming to Marlboro Township. The grand opening of the new Marlboro Farmers' Market will take place on June 30, Marlboro Mayor Jon Hornik announced Tuesday, March 26.

The market will be located at the intersection of Rts. 79 and 520 at the former home of Stattel Farm. There will be a ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. on June 30. The Marlboro Farmers' Market will be open every Sunday beginning June 30 until October 27 from 9:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., rain or shine.

“We have wanted a farmers' market for years, so when we preserved the Stattel Farm in 2017 this was the perfect opportunity and location to start one,” said Mayor Hornik. “I am really looking forward to filling this niche in Marlboro Township. Bringing fresh produce to our residents, enhancing our commercial base and uusing this space for something that will actively engage the public is a win-win all around."

“Using this preserved land for our Market really honors the tradition of the Stattel Farm
as well as Marlboro’s roots as an agricultural community," Hornik added.

A Facebook group ‘Marlboro Farmers Market’ has been launched to keep residents informed of market happenings.

The Market is sponsored by Marlboro Township who has solicited the help of professional market manager, Pamela Caputo of Community Greenmarket Organizers. Their mission is to provide a venue for farmers to sell locally grown produce directly to the community. The Market will be limited to vendors who are growers or producers of homemade products. Farmers who are interested in being considered as a market vendor should send an email to CoGrO_monmouth@icloud.com or call 732-982-7842.

Residents who wish to be considered as a Market volunteer should submit an expression of interest by completing the Volunteer Form available on the Township website.
