Vendor offerings include: fruit and vegetable plants, jams, jellies, and preserves, lots of fresh, locally grown, fruits and vegetables, soups, breakfast breads, gluten free baked goods, eggs, honey, cheese, donuts, cider, cut flowers, professional knife sharpening, ornamental flower plants, artisan breads, cookies, scones, focaccia bread, pickles, olives, hot peppers and other pickled vegetables, empanadas, fresh pasta sauces, ready to use pie fillings, pizza, chicken sausage and pepperoni rolls, grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, and poultry, fresh baked pies and much more!

Don’t forget to visit the ‘Buy Local’ corner and support the area's fine, local artisans, merchants and non-profits.

Sponsored by Sustainable West Milford, the market is held every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m., rain or shine, at 1452 Union Valley Road in West Milford – right next to Town Cycle in the West Milford Presbyterian Church parking lot.
