Love this farmers market! It is small but they have a good selection of vendors and everything is top notch!
You have the usual selections you need at every farmers market including meat, seafood, bread, produce, coffee, cheese, eggs, and sweets. In addition to your usuals you have some great vendors that make Summit's Market special. You have an awesome nut/dried fruit/ trail mix vendor, my personnel favorite The Farmer and The Chickpea, a pickle vendor, homemade pasta, and some homemade Italian offerings.
It is a great way to spend a Sunday morning, do some weekly shopping, or stop by for lunch!
My first visit to Summit Farmers Market and I was impressed. I was expecting a rinky dink parking lot filled with veggies that have gone bad. Instead there are fresh fruits and veggies, a pickle stand (try their samples), a couple of baked goods tents (more samples please) and even a pizza truck from Pizza Vita…go there and try their breakfast pizza…crust, toppings…oh so delicious. Pizza is good any time of the day!
More about the market, it's not huge but it's not skimpy either. Lots of vendors. Lots of great samples. Great way to shop local. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. Bring your dog since their were tons of people walking them
Ample parking. Great prices. Healthy options. ENJOY!
I must admit it never occurred to me to review the market but why not , I go often enough.The fish stand , when it's in action is the worlds greatest fish store as far as I'm concerned.The best flounder , tuna and monkfish you will get , not cheap. This is a good source of quality produce-depending on the season , good figs,turnips, parsnips, apples , pears,cranberry beans, lima beans,mustard greens.One stand sells good ground lamb.A Polish stand has good kielbasy, stuffed cabbage and pierogi.Basil and good tomatoes when in season.The expensive cheese is from Long Valley and it is very good sheep cheese and expensive to produce.Sheep have the annoying habit of not being cows ( in other words they don't produce a lot of milk).
Nice low key farmers market open on Sundays. Fresh veggies and fruits check. Delicious breads check. Pastries galore. Pizza truck and taqueria truck are both awesome. Lizzmonade is there hawking Blueberry coffee which I was skeptical of. There was fresh pasta and fish, local made honey, organic soaps and candles, you name it it was there. The quality of the produce was very good. Cheeses were there in abundance as was the Picklicious guys. Those pickled products are great and are reasonably priced. Only two weeks left so go now.
This market happens on Sunday mornings, which makes parking in downtown Summit unbelievably easy. It is a fairly compact assembly of about 20 vendors, including the wonderful Hoboken Farms, which has a terrific frozen selection of locally raised steaks, lemon chicken, pasta dishes, etc. Several farms are here during the summer, and the quality is quite good. They even have some heirloom tomatoes. I picked up some beautiful, large, juicy garlic here this past weekend. They also have a pickle vendor (mediocre and overpriced) and a pretty good baked goods place from the area (get the "duffin", a cross between a donut and a muffin). Mmmmm. It's not Union Square, but it's a much shorter (and much cheaper) drive!
Big fan of the fact that this is in town and offered every Sunday. Huge list of vendors who all have top-quality offerings. Jams, honeys, produce (all fresh and priced well), meats, olives and pickles, and baguettes.
My wife and I like to walk to the market on a Sunday morning and see what's being offered. A lot of the vendors give you samples before you buy, and it's not ever too packed. If you're nearby, I'd definitely recommend swinging by to check out the produce – they have great tomatoes and fresh lettuce.
Some of the vendors take credit cards as well, so it's not all cash only! Some of the items are priced a bit high, but the things we like to get (produce and nuts, olives, pickles, etc) are priced fair.
It's a rare Sunday that I miss the chance to hit this market. The market is a good size, though not overwhelmingly large. They offer a great variety of vendors – produce (both organic and not), baked goods, fancy cheeses, pickles, wool, honey, Jams by Kim, Hoboken Farms, seafood, meats, and more. The only downside to the market is that is does get incredibly crowded, and there can be quite a wait to find parking. However, since it does run for several hours, I don't mind parking a few blocks away and hoofing it – not like I'll miss *that* much by walking!
What I've noticed about this market is how friendly everyone is. And I don't just mean the vendors (who are phenomenal – super nice, knowledgeable, and truly want their customers to love their product). So many people come with their kids and their dogs, saying hi and chit-chatting while waiting in line. It is one of the greatest displays of "community" you can find.
My list of "musts" for the market include:
– Crepes from Brownie Points, Nutella being my favorite
– Everything from Jams by Kim, she has tons of flavors to sample and most of her jams/jellies are made using local ingredients
– Sausage & Pepper roll and fresh mozzarella from Hoboken Farms
– Honey sticks from Tassot Apiaries, lots of great flavors
– Tiramisu from Paolo's Kitchen
There so much to try and buy, it's easy to spend an hour or two wandering around and having a great time!
Huge selection of produce, bread, cheese, plants, pastry, coffee, ready-to-eat Italian fresh and frozen entrees, food trucks too but trés cher, the Summit market is for people who don't have to ask what anything costs. A dozen organic eggs are $8.25, a slice of eggplant pie is $12, a sesame twist is $5.25 and a breakfast tostada is $7. So I love the selection but the pricing means I'm not a fan.
I have a few gluten-challenged people in my life so the Farmer & the Chickpea stand was fascinating. They sell an enormous selection of gluten-free goodies, great stuff like a 4" thick eggplant pie in quinoa crust, roasted chickpeas slathered with sundried tomatoes, and sweets too. Wow but bring plenty of ca$h.
Hoboken farms brings a great variety of breads at stunningly high prices, I succumbed to the siren call of the pretzel loaf, the salt-caraway seed rolls and the olive bread. But I balked at paying $7.50 for a rectangular loaf of whole-grain bread 🙁
The Taco Autentica truck will make you a breakfast tostada with huevos rancheros on top for $7, it's not posted so you gotta ask the (grumpy) man behind the counter.
This is the biggest market of the area, larger than Chatham combined with Morristown *and* Madison. Many of the vendors I've only seen here, like Brownie points, the taco truck, the lemonade stand, etc. Otherwise considerable overlap – the cheese people and the pickle people are at all these markets, ditto for the fish people, the pizza truck comes to Chatham, etc.
Parking is strictly on the street, easy at 8:30am.
Yes, I went a bit overboard on the pictures.
