 Opening Day 2008

Sergeantsville – The Sergeantsville Farmers Market kicks off it’s fourth season on Saturday, May 10, 2008 (Mother’s Day Weekend).  Every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon, local farmers and vendors will sell “Hunterdon County’s Community Bounty” which is everything from farm fresh eggs to fresh-picked asparagus and more.
The Market is located at the “township green” across the street from Township Hall at routes 523 and 604.

Mickie Jacoby, who is this year’s Market’s chairperson says, “I encourage everyone to come out this year.  We have a lot of great family and adult activities planned and some of the best farm fresh products and crafts around.”
Currently there are about 18 Local Farmers and Vendors already signed up who will provide a variety of goods including eggs, cut flowers, sausage, pottery, embroidery, vegetables, fruits, herbs, plants, quilts, alpaca fiber and more!

Gunn Creek Farm has been coming to the Market since its inception.  Mark Gunn says, “This is a great opportunity for us as farmers to sell our peaches and vegetables.  And we have a great time meeting with our neighbors in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.”

This year the Market will be hosting a contest for school age children to design the new Logo for the Market.  Come out on Saturday May 10th and see who wins the contest!

Other special events include live music, tasting events.
