Popular West Windsor Farmers Market Begins May 6

WEST WINDSOR, NJ – One of New Jersey’s favorite farmers markets is preparing for a new season. The West Windsor Community Farmers Market’s Opening Day kicks off May 6, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. The vibrant market is held weekly, until the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Opening Day will feature a special culinary event with local artisans selling functional pottery, hand-crafted wooden cutting boards, turned bowls, refurbished cast iron, vintage Pyrex as well as other kitchen wares.

Other offerings include seasonal fresh produce and bedding plants, mushrooms, sustainably caught seafood, poultry, pastured eggs, freshly milled oats, pickles, sauces, jams, fresh pasta, goats milk products, cheese, breads, baked goods, pastries, pastured meats, vegan savory and sweets, Lebanese salads, Eastern European favorites, Indian simmer sauces and prepared meals, alpaca fiber wear, vegan chocolates, pesticide-free flowers, bone broths, a knife sharpener as well as on-site food trucks with crepes, freshly pressed juices, bagel sandwiches, hot coffee and teas.

“To see the community support for our pop-up main street each and every week is so rewarding; folks love to connect with their neighbors, chat with the farmers and makers directly, and experience a robust open-air grocery shop,” Market Manager, Chris Cirkus said. “Our 18 farms and 29 vendors come from within 60-70 miles of West Windsor, allowing us to highlight and promote New Jersey’s rich agricultural heritage.”

Attendees can access the market from 877 Alexander Road. Parking is free. Other ways to reach the market is through NJ Transit bus 877 or Dinky and ½ mile walk to Vaughn Lot. Visit wwcfm.org or call 609-913-7581 for a complete list of farms/vendors.

The WWCFM accepts SNAP/EBT and offers matching incentives towards fruit and vegetable purchases (up to $20 per market day). Several farms accept WIC/FMNP/SFMNP
