Khürt Williams and Leslie Brecknell came over to Marty Pratt’s house many Sundays during the fall and winter to work on the new web site. Here we all are putting some finishing touches on. We launched the new site and announced it to our constant contact mailing list in December, 2014.
Martha Elliott, Khürt Williams, and Leslie Brecknell working on the web site.
Brick Farm Market was established in 2013 to make available to the public the high-quality farm fresh produce and products of Double Brook Farm in Hopewell. Located in the beautiful 1930’s brick Malek Chevrolet building on East Broad Street, the store sells locally sourced products and has a restaurant, a butcher shop, cheese shop, coffee and juice bar and a bakery. The owners work to incorporate the most environmentally sustainable practices into their operation from the careful selection of seeds on the farm and use of clean energy, to composting; the store and tavern sell farm to market to table.
Owners Jon and Robin McConaughy preside over this ambitious operation with care You can taste the freshness. Meat comes from pasture-fed cattle and sheep raised on Double Brook Farm. The creamy cheeses are brought in from the Hopewell area and the nearby Northeastern producers. The customer can also purchase a large number of ready-to-eat foods made daily at the store, as well as cured meats and sausages, chocolate, honey, and more.
Brick Farm Market has garnered rave reviews from a number of area media, including being tapped as one of the 5 Best Shops and Sights in Princeton by Philadelphia Magazine’s “Shoppist” in July 2014. And you will undoubtedly agree! Brick Farm Market sells its melt-in-your mouth cheeses at Montgomery’s Farmers’ Market. The ample samples there will guarantee you’ll love what you buy! During the week you can find Brick Farm’s tasty and fresh products at their store. To learn more, go to their website.
The brilliant yellow-orange reaches out, grabs you by the collar, and draws you over to Nine Acre’s stand happiness wash over you as you mull over just which bunch of sunflowers is the most perfect. No, you are not alone in this; it’s an phenomenon comes over many folks, Sonya Sappington, owner of Nine Acre Farm with her husband, Bill, said to a visitor one market day. In fact, drivers on nearby Route 206 have been known to make an unplanned stop to the Farmers’ Market after seeing her beautiful sunflowers. She regularly sells out. One time after selling out, Ms. Sappington returned to the market with a second load, and sold out again. That’s the kind of effect these sunshine-y flowers have.
The Sappington family bought Nine Acre Farm in 2004, immediately planting an orchard. A few years later they began keeping bees and making sweet homemade honey. Sonya and Bill operate their farm in Skillman with the help of their daughter, Christina. In addition to the sunflowers and honey, the farm produces apples and peaches.
Although new to Montgomery’s Farmers’ Market, Nine Acre Farm quickly established itself with the market regulars and has been a popular addition. Brighten your home by taking home a bunch on market day. Heck, share the love, buy several bunches and brighten the day of a friend, a neighbor, or the newspaper guy. This could be catching!
