Berkeley Farmers' Market Will Be Open A Few More Weeks

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Although Oct. 10 was supposed to be the last day for the Berkeley Farmers' Market this year, some of the vendors have asked for a few more weeks, Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. said.

So you'll have a little more time to buy fresh produce, baked goods and other items in October.

A few of the vendors recently asked township officials to stay open a few more weeks, the mayor said.

"Won't be all of them, just a few," Amato said.

Berkeley began the market a few years ago. It originally started in Veterans Park, but was later moved to the parking lot of the township's Recreation Building on Route 9 for easier access.

At various times, there were up 15 vendors participating.

The market is held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Tuesday.
