Organizers say they're hoping for a second event later this year.
With more than 30 vendors selling grass-fed beef, cheese, all natural poultry, eggs, pickles, salsa, wine, local honey and more, the first ever Indoor Winters Farmers Market on Saturday, March 10, was a huge success. In fact, turn out was so great that some people actually sold out of product before the day was done. Sponsored by the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission and held at the Cultural Arts Center, organizers say they’re already looking forward to having a second event in the fall.
