After months of debate, in which organic and local produce won out over one man's desire to have everyone to shop in his store, the Margate Farmer's Market debuts today in the parking lot of Steve and Cookie's restaurant in Margate, 9700 Amherst, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and weekly in the summer from now on
Writes owner Cookie Till, who, frankly, made mincemeat out of her rival, Casel's owner Howard Seiden, who opposed the market: "...well the day is finally about to arrive! We have 17 vendors plus a mini kids camp, atlanticare with health info and screening and an info tent covering subjects from what to do with your vegetable purchases to lawn care and cleaning supplies that are in harmony with the environment and benefits of using native plants when planning a garden.
EVERYBODY is talking about it so i think we will have a crowd."
Fliers are promising produce, baked goods, eggs, seafood and ... honey. Sweet.
UPDATE: Two thumbs up, Cookie! There are some amazingly cool veggies and herbs for sale in that market, exotic looking cauliflower from Jah's creation, all kinds of unsual herbs an lettuces from Muth's, and fresh scallops from Barnegat Bay. Lots of choices. Next week, I'll have to walk counter clockwise because I ran out of cash halfway through (splurged on the $8 shitake mushroom basket). Nice scene, crowded as promised, very neighborly, will be a kicking dinner. Thanks, Cookie.

I am pleased to say I was at the opening of the Farmers Market today. Not only am I a volunteer and one of the presenters at the information booth, but I am also a local Margate resident. It was really wonderful to see the warmth and sense of community that arose from todays market. People need to make contact with one another and what more basic way than to unite through the foundation of food! Baked goods, seafood, free trade coffee, greens, greens and more greens! Hallelujah! The people will eat greens, and I will teach them how to prepare some new and tasty dishes! Thank you, Cookie, for your effort and this wonderful opportunity. Thank you farmers for your fundamental offerings, and thank you Margate for rising to the occasion!!
