Township officials are busy putting the final touches on the first weekly Farmers Market event that will come to Brick this weekend.
The weekly farmers market will run each Saturday through mid-September (except July 4) at Windward Beach Park, 265 Princeton Avenue, and kick off this Saturday, April 25. The market will open at 9 a.m. and end at 12 noon each week. Numerous vendors have already signed up, and officials were signing up more this week, said Brick Township Council President Paul Mummolo.
“A few more vendors will be signed up before Saturday,” he said at a council meeting Tuesday.

The Brick Farmers Market is a new effort this year, funded through a grant by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The grant covers costs to host the farmers market as well as local advertising and promotion. Township officials said this week that they hope the farmers market will continue in future years, but that depends on how well it is attended this year.
