Bordentown City announced last month that the Bordentown Farmers Market would return for 2022 starting on Sunday, June 5 and running through Sept. 25.
The farmers’ market will be open each Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Carslake Community Center, 207 Crosswicks St., Bordentown. The market is held outdoors and is subject to weather conditions.
While this year’s vendors had not yet been announced at press time, the farmers’ market typically features a range of vendors selling fresh local produce, baked goods, beverages, spices, artisanal goods and crafts. Live music and food trucks are also regular features.
The market will have two new managers this year. Yasmin Qazilbash and Cara Murphy, both Bordentown residents, have agreed to assume management of the weekly event.
Previous managers Hillery Lamb and Sruti Desai announced that they would be stepping down on April 21.
“Unfortunately, after much thought and consideration, we have decided to step down as market managers. This definitely was not an easy decision or one that we planned to make, but at this time, it is what we need to do,” they wrote on the farmers’ market Facebook page.
“Watching the market grow and improve over the past three years has been nothing short of amazing. We are incredibly proud of the market and all the hard work we’ve poured into it over the years,” the wrote.
They added that they were grateful for the support they received from both the vendors and the community over the years.
“It really is something special to see your visions and ideas come to life—and that’s what this market has been for us. It has been amazing to bring Bordentown a farmers’ market where our community could buy fresh produce and handmade goods, meet local farmers and businesses, and support our local economy, as well as create a meeting space for our community to enjoy,” they wrote.
