West Windsor, NJ, May 7, 2015 —Held every Saturday, from 9:00am-1:00pm, rain or shine until the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  Stop by to see for yourself why the West Windsor Community Farmers Market continues to be New Jersey’s favorite farmers market*.  Connect directly with the folks who grow and raise your food!  Live music, prepared foods, cooking demonstrations and special events round out the overall market experience.

Fifteen of Central New Jersey’s best farms and eleven artisan vendors gather weekly to bring a wide array of local products to the Market for West Windsor and neighboring town residents to enjoy.   Locally grown fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, pastured meats and poultry, dairy and farm fresh eggs can be found at the market along with woven fiber products, breads, baked goods, flowers, plants, honey, prepared foods, soap, sauces, jams, pickled vegetables and wine.  Breakfast and brunch selections include Jammin’ Crepes’ famous crepes, The Feed Truck’s savory egg sandwiches, along with freshly made juices from Tico’s Juice Truck.

Don’t forget to bring your knives, scissors and lawn tools for sharpening at Nice and Sharp.  Bi-weekly massage returns with Gail Laboard’s The Touch That Heals.
