Brick Farmers Market (File Photo)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Brick Farmers Market will return to town in May\u00a0after a successful introduction in 2015, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re starting the Farmers Market later in the season, and we\u2019re doing it on purpose,\u201d said Mayor John Ducey, explaining the May 21 start date this year. \u201cLast year, we started off in April and there really weren\u2019t many fresh vegetables or fruits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The township decided to start the event earlier in the season last year to lure vendors who previously may have been committed to farmers markets in Monmouth County and other locations. The idea, Ducey said, was to prove how popular the Brick market was in hopes of having the vendors stick around when their prime growing season got into full swing. The idea worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey saw what the crowds were, and they all stayed on for the rest of the year,\u201d said Ducey.<\/p>\n

The township has retained essentially all of last year\u2019s vendors for this year\u2019s market.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the vendors are going to offer their peak season produce,\u201d said Ducey.<\/p>\n

The Brick Farmers Market will run from May 21 through Oct. 1, every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Windward Beach Park.<\/p>\n[box type=\u201dshadow\u201d align=\u201d\u201d class=\u201d\u201d width=\u201d\u201d]\n
