130 Farmers' Market

 

    Tuesday, July 12, 2022: After being at the Robbinsville Farmers’ Market earlier that day, I went to another Mercer County, New Jersey farmers’ market: 130 Farmers’ Market, 370 US-130, Town Center Shopping Center, East Windsor (near Hightstown) (609-308-2654). Unlike the earlier open-air farmers’ market in Robbinsville, this market looked like a mid-sized food store in a modern shopping plaza along busy Route 130. Inside, instead of vendors, the store management sold different foods on consignment, and it reminded me of typical supermarket—at first glance. On its 9,520 square feet, I noticed plenty of fresh produce, dairy, and meats. I also viewed jarred foods, packaged foods, baked goods, etc. In addition, I even found certain foods that I couldn’t find in my local supermarkets! While this market didn’t appear as quaint as the earlier farmers’ market, the foods seemed just as fresh.
