This Sunday, Father’s Day, marks the opening day of the Nutley Farmers Market. The Market, which is in its 14th season, will run every Sunday from June 18 through October 29 from 9am to 2pm.
 
Located in Municipal Lot 7 at 507 Franklin Avenue in Nutley (behind Bella Luce), this year’s Market will kick off with a Walk & Talk with Mayor Joseph P. Scarpelli and Mayors-for-the-Day Nutley students Aidan Carlson and Mikey Perna. This scenic three-mile loop steps off at 8:30am.
 
“We are always excited at this time of year to get the Market back up and running,” Mayor Scarpelli says. “We look forward to welcoming our vendors and residents, and making this year’s Market the most successful one yet.”
 
The Mayor is also eager to participate in the Walk & Talk. “This gives our residents the opportunity to ask me anything they like. I’m not sure that's the smartest thing,” he adds with a laugh, “but I always enjoy the interaction.”
 
This week’s musical guest will be the 4th Street NiteOwls. Vendors include Asprocolas Acres, BAKER.nj, Cat-Like Reflexes Lemonade/Tornado Potato, Cozz Coffee, Empanada Lady Food Truck, Grandma Emma's, Hidden Valley Farm, Hoboken Farms, Neshanic Valley Beekeepers, LLC, Paolo's Kitchen, Pickles Olives Etc., TreeLicious Orchards & Just Made Bakery, Cannapalooza Nursery, Emilio's Wood Fire Pizza, Hidden Brook Ranch LLC, and Somers 27 Soap Co.
