Marlboro Farmers Market – Meet the Vendors
Open Sunday, June 27 from 9am – 2pm
Dear Resident,
The Marlboro Farmers Market (MFM) opened earlier this month and it was wonderful to see neighbors and friends enjoying the market. Our vendors are small businesses that source or make their products locally. Please meet the vendors scheduled for this Sunday.
Bakers Bounty – Bread and baked goods made the old fashioned way, this New Jersey bakery helped establish NYC Greenmarkets and NJ Farmers Markets 40 years ago. Their cases are filled with breads, pies, crumb cake, cookies, brownies, focaccia, and more. Grab a scone or muffin to go with Bean Muggin icy cold brew and breakfast is served.
Bark & Bites – Your furry family members deserve the best. Their mission is to provide the best healthy treats made from all-natural locally sourced ingredients. Bark & Bites teams up with local shelters to help dogs in need and your purchases help to support that mission.
Bean Muggin Coffee – Unique blends inspired by the Jersey Shore and coastal regions around the world. K-cups, ground and beans are available. New to the market this week, they will be pouring delicious, icy cold brew. What better way to stay cool!

Their meats are raised without hormones, antibiotics or steroids. We have heard from reliable sources that their liverwurst is unlike any other. The stand is small, but the flavor is big. Stop by and check them out.
