The Cedar Lane Management Group is proud to present the sixteenth year of the Teaneck Farmers’ Market, still located in the Municipal Parking Lot at Garrison Avenue and Beverly Road, just off of Cedar Lane. We decided to open a few weeks earlier on Thursday, June 14th until October 25th, from Noon to 6 PM, weather permitting. There’s plenty of free parking, plus other areas across Garrison Avenue, in back of Veggie Heaven and behind the Provident Bank.

This season we are pleased to announce that our marketplace still has your favorite farm stands, Sunden’s Stone Pointe Farm and Stoltzfus Produce each bring a bounty of seasonal fruits, vegetables, plants and herbs, all through out the season. We’re so happy for the return of The Amish Country Bakery, bringing freshly baked cookies, pies, sweet cakes, breads, honey, jams, pickled vegetable mixtures and more and Teaneck’s own, Angela Logan’s Mortgage Apple Cakes of delicious apple cupcakes, and cakes. Another staple of our Cedar Lane business district is our own, Robyn Samra’s Picklelicious who brings a wide range of barrels filled with tasty varieties of pickles, marinated olives, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated artichokes, pestos and more. You can’t beat the artisan breads, famous mozzarella cheese, a variety of raviolis, Hoboken Farms’ own recipe of marinara sauce, frozen seasoned poultry, beef and crabmeat cakes, and fish entrees ready to prepare from Hoboken Farms. Returning for their second season from New Providence, NJ is, Paolo’s Kitchen with their authentic Italian entrees, both vegetarian and meat and chicken favorites. Lot’s of their ingredients come from local farmer’s markets. And don’t forget to save some time for Teaneck’s, Back in Touch Massage Therapy, for masseuse, Antonio Merlo. For those who had a chance to experience his magical strength, he is amazing and is coming back too.

New this year is Down to the Bone Barbecue Company, from Stanhope, NJ who will bring their special ready to serve, pulled pork, chicken and beef and more. Gourmet Nuts and Dried Fruits from Floral Park, NJ will also be selling a variety of nuts, dried fruits and dried fruit mixes, peanut brittle and during the cooler part of season will sell other items such as chocolate coated nuts. We will also have a new vendor Nana’s Home Kitchen, who offers Mediterranean style foods both savory and sweet delights such as, spinach pies, sarma which is stuffed grape leaves, burkes, fried dough with cheese, spinach or beef fillings, baklavas, brioches, falafels, hummus, babaganoush and more.

Coming soon is the newly published a 52 page book of recipes, with the partnership from “Edible Jersey’s New Jersey Farmer’s Market. They asked the managers to send three recipes for the book. Then they tested the recipes for the best ones. Two of the recipes were chosen from our market manager’s family favorites dishes.
