"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.

Patrons can sit in our cafe area and have coffee and hot breakfast sandwiches. Local musicians play live music. Each year the Market strives to offer a variety of Jersey Fresh products and locally-produced items. As the growing season progresses, each new Saturday offers something different.

Our Market carries local produce and flowers rain or shine every Saturday. Vendors with rain-sensitive items, the information tent, and live music is weather-permitting.

AND We are open in November! It is a time for late season crops and a selection of handcrafted items. The Saturday before Thanksgiving dinner is a must-go tradition for many--a popular date regardless of the weather.

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.

Special thanks to our sponsors—we are a thriving Market with their support!
