On Saturday, June 6, Pennington launched it's first Farmer's Market on Route 31 in the Pennington Shopping Center. Residents, friends, neighbors and local politicians came out to celebrate opening day, have a cup of coffee and a light breakfast while shopping at the various vendors for the freshest selections of produce brought by local farmers.
We were invited to run a booth at the market to showcase our popular "Kid's Farmer's Market Tote Bags!" The adorable 100% cotton bag is adorned with cute illustrations of "smiling broccoli people" and comes with a mesh pouch which includes a kid-sized vegetable scrubber, a cotton washcloth and a laminated color booklet explaining what's in season in which areas, how to shop and prepare produce and a map showing where certain produce is grown.
In addition to showcasing our bags, we also gave kids the opportunity to plant their own organic green beans! They were each given a small, biodegradeable flower pot along with green bean seeds and potting soil. They went to working planting and were able to bring home their pot to water and watch grow into a plentiful bean stalk!
We always appreciate the opportunity to participate in local events. Building community is so important and one of the reasons we live and work in Pennington. Our customers always come out to support us, too, and we are very grateful for your interest and participation in our events.
Stay tuned to where we'll be next!
