The Art of Fresh Food
The Montclair Farmers Market kicks off its 18th season on Saturday, June 5 and continues every Saturday morning through November, from 8 am to 1 pm, at the Walnut Street Train Station parking lot.

This season, five familiar farmers – Tree-Licious Orchards, Sunden Farms, Vacchiano’s, Matarazzo’s and Farmer John (the organic grower) – return to Montclair to offer their fresh produce, often picked within 24 hours of the market!

Also, look for food artisans, such as The Bread Company, a cheese maker, a fishmonger, a beekeeper with hone and wax candles, a specialty condiments purveyor, a pesto maker, and a pickler. Plus, there will be demonstrations and live music as part of the weekly highlights.

When you come to the Farmers Market each week, be sure to save a little time before or after to check out nearby galleries, restaurants and shops.
