The Montgomery Friends of Open Space proudly reopens their summer Farmer’s Market this weekend, for their thirteenth year. It will be held Saturdays from 9:00am until 1:00pm at the Village Shopper shopping center through October 24th. Founded in 2003 to support agriculture in Montgomery and surrounding areas, the Farmers’ Market has grown from 5 vendors to 18 this year. Back this year are old favorites Treelicious Orchards and Orchard Farm Organics, who have been with them from the very beginning, but they also welcome PickleLicious from Teaneck, NJ, purveyor of house-made kosher pickles, olives, and other products.
Here’s the 2015 Vendor list:

Each year the Friends like to support an emerging farmer who is venturing into the farm market business. New for this year will be dried, organic herbs and herb teas from Fields Without Fences of Frenchtown. Next week, come ready for coffee as Benfatto Coffee of Hillsborough joins us as well. (Some farmers are experiencing a delayed harvest so will participate in the coming weeks.)
