This event has passed; if you were able to attend I hope that you enjoyed it!  As I was out of town, my husband went in my place and got us some ghee from Pure Indian Foods, AMAZING onion and cinnamon bread from the Village Bakery, and mushrooms from Davidson Mushrooms which we had with dinner tonight.....we will update this blog with additional information on upcoming farmer markets. 

When: Sunday 2/28/2010 from 11am -3pm

Where: Tre Piani located in Forrestal Village

What: A GREAT indoor farmer's market set up throughout the restaurant.

Why: Support local agriculture and vendors in NJ.  This is a great event that we always enjoy.  We usually grab lunch (including oysters) and a bloody mary or two! 

How Much: $2 donation requested

Some of the Vendors:

  • Cheese from Cherry Grove Farm
  • Davidson's Mushrooms
    • We follow Davidson's Mushrooms around the various outdoor markets in the summertime.  We get their mixed box of portabella, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms.
    • Love their Barbera and Chardonnay
    • LOVE IT.....it has a higher smoke point and is great for cooking! 
  • Terhune Orchards - apples, cider, salsa
    • They make a great, fresh tasting salsa and always have samples on  hand :)
  • Village Bakery - breads and sweets
    • Our girls occasionally moonlight with them helping them sell their fresh breads.  Their bread is better than any you can get at the grocery stores and well worth the trip!  Visit them on Gordon Avenue in the Village of Lawrenceville.
  • and much more....
