"Apples
for Vets":
Nov. 15, 2008
Veterans’ Day
honors the individuals who have served and sacrificed for the safety and freedom
of their fellow Americans. Schober Orchards wants
to offer their own special gesture of appreciation to area veterans. They will
give a half-basket of apples and a gallon of apple cider to each veteran that
visits their stand at the Collingswood Farmers' Market the Saturday after Veterans’ Day
(Saturday, Nov. 15). This is a beloved tradition of Schober Orchards' John Hurff,
who has treated hundreds of veterans to apples and cider in years past. The Hurff
Family's Schober Orchards is located in Monroeville, NJ.

is weather-permitting.

Posted
June 11,2008: FDA deemed New Jersey-grown tomatoes NOT ASSOCIATED with the recent
salmonella outbreak.
We're not surprised, are you? ALL of the tomatoes at our Market are JERSEY.
This is a great time to remind you that New Jersey farmers are known for giving
you the highest quality produce using the safest handling practices. On top of
that, when you buy local produce from the agricultural community, it's less handled,
packed, and processed. Finally, a bigger portion of each dollar you spend makes
it back to the farms who are dedicated to growing what you eat. Win-Win-WIN.
