One of Bergen County's Longest Running Markets

The Teaneck Farmers' Market will start its twelfth season on Thursday June 26th. On Thursdays from June 26 to October 30, from Noon to 6:30PM, weather permitting, shoppers will be able to visit the market in the Teaneck Municipal Parking Lot at Garrison Avenue and Beverly Road near Cedar Lane. 

Familiar farmers will be back with their New Jersey Fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits along with fresh herbs, plants, cut flowers, and gourmet treats. The Amish Country Bakery staff will be making the three hour journey from Pennsylvania to Teaneck once again to bring cookies, breads, pies, apple dumplings, cinnamon rolls and canned goods. Cedar Lane's Pickelicious will sell pickles, olives and condiments for the third year at this market. Discounts and specials from Cedar Lane merchants and other in-town establishments are featured at the Market Manager's table. Teaneck Resident Margie Aaker, Market Manager, has been working with Teaneck Economic Development Corporation to coordinate the effort. 

Seniors should note that on July 24 there will be a representative from the Bergen County Senior Nutritional Program at the Farmers' Market to sign up Seniors for the annual $20 coupons which can be used at the market.
