Collingswood Farmers' Market

What's in season?

It's Schober Orchards's "Apples for Vets" day this Saturday. Veterans can come to their stand and get a free half-basket of apples, a gallon of cider, and heartfelt appreciation for their service. Are you a vet? They want to meet you personally and thank you for your courageous service, so come on down! Know a vet? Please tell them about this very special gesture from Schober Orchards.

It's turkey order season. Two Market farms are offering local turkey orders:
Springdale Farms (856-424-8674): You can order a fresh, hormone- and antibiotic-free turkey locally-raised on Griggstown Quail Farm in Princeton. It will be available for you to pick up the week of Thanksgiving at Springdale's FARM location in Cherry Hill (not the Market location.)
Hillacres Pride Farm (717-548-9031): is offering Pennsylvania pasture-raised turkeys. Turkeys must be pre-ordered at the market and you pick up the weekend before Thanksgiving. A $20.00 deposit is required.
Please ask each farm directly for more details about their turkey ordering programs.

Free Drawing finale

The friends of the Farmer's Market is offering market apron/market tote combos as prizes for the remainder of the season. Come to the information tent and enter, one name will be drawn for each remaining Saturday and delivered to the winners.

It's still craft month

In November we welcome local crafters to fill in the gaps left by farmers whose seasons have already ended. Take some time to explore the tables of these talented but temporary Market participants. Crafters choose the dates that they come, so if you see something you like, buy it! It may not be back next week.
