Ewing Township residents at Ewing Town Center, River Links and Delaware Heights are once again enjoying the Autumn convenience of the Trenton Farmers Market taking place at 960 Spruce Street in nearby Lawrence Township. The Trenton Farmers Market was voted the #1 farmers market in Mercer county, the #2 farmers market in NJ, the #3 farmers market in the Northeast region and the #20 farmers market in the United States. 

More than just the convenience of proximity, you may be asking “what benefits do farmers markets bring to the communities they serve?” Here is a list of just some advantages you’ll reap when supporting YOUR local farmers market; 

  • Taste the REAL flavors of fruits and vegetables, fresh from the farm.
  • Reconnect with the seasonal cycle of nature in your region.
  • In contrast to large agribusinesses, you support small family farmers.
  • In the US food travels an average of 1500 miles to get to your plate which generates trash, extra packaging and the use of fossil fuels for shipping; in contrast, buying local at your farmers market protects the environment. 
  • Most foods at your farmers market are naturally more nourishing as they shun processing, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and genetic modification. 
  • The variety of products found at a farmers market will usually outnumber that which you can find in a brick and mortar store. 
  • Learn cooking tips, recipes and meal ideas. 
  • Connect with your community.
