have produce, coffee, pickles, homemade prepared frozen meals and more.” Hablitz added many vendors are making their return this season, including Mo & Jays Pastry Shop. Jaleesa Mason, who owns the pastry shop with her
husband Mohamad, was recently named winner of the Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship. Seber also commented on the return of the market, adding that more events than ever before will be featured. “New vendors
will also be making their debut and more community groups will be joining us as well,” she explained. “We’re looking forward to 2022 being a wonderful season!” She also said that farmers markets are vital to communities and supporting them is important. “We need to support
our local growers and food producers,” she further added. “Most importantly, we need to support our local economy.” There are still opportunities for vendors to sign up for the Little Falls Farmers Market. For more information, contact Lffarmersmarket@lfnj.com.
