But don’t take my word for it. . .

One option for a local farmer’s market is located at the Walnut Street Station in Montclair, NJ on 24 Saturdays throughout the year.
As many as 3,000 locals reportedly pass through on some weekends as this is a well known 18 year local tradition of inviting the growers and merchants into Montclair, NJ.
This Saturday, there was a small crowd towards the end of day by the 1:30-2pm timeframe afterwhich the vendors started to pack-up for the day. There were a bunch of interesting vendors — probably because the vendor fee is approximately $35/week for each spot in the market (~$800/year). Montclair seems to have figured out that keeping it affordable will keep the vendors coming back year after year.
You can see in the photos included below that there is a variety of offerings – wine, buffalo meat, cheeses, pickled pickles, fruits, veggies, breads, real honey products and sausage meats. A neat little inclusion was the taco food truck with some tables and seating available for those that wanted to take a break and stay awhile.
QUESTION: Have you ever been to this or any other local farmer’s market? What did you buy?

It looks like we might get an upgrade to a local ice skating rink in Montclair, NJ. The Montclair Clary Anderson Arena is going to be privatized according to local sources.
And some of the contenders are Floyd Hall — who runs Floyd Hall Arena Ice Rink in Wayne, NJ by Montclair State University as well as United Skates of America which manages the Codey Arena at South Mountain in West Orange, NJ.
But it ain’t final yet since according to the Star Ledger, there’s a 1000 person petition urging to let it go non-profit.
It looks like it’s time to register for another season of Kiddie Soccer!
The season begins at September 13th in Upper Montclair, South Orange, West Essex, Millburn and Livingston. Perfect for ages 3 1/2 to 6 years old. We loved Coach Eddie from our last season.
Sessions are held at various times throughout the week. Many options — and remember you can always register for one in a neighboring time if it is more convenient.
Registration number: telephone, 973-543-1197 or go to www.kiddiesoccer.com.
