The market is open at Beth Israel Hospital, main lobby on Lyons Avenue from 11am-4pm every Thursday.

(We will not hold our usual on-site farm stand at SWAG this summer, but may pop up again this fall.)

And stay tuned for our re-vamped farm share prepay program, the most affordable way to get a weekly supply of our fresh, clean produce supplemented with fruit and special items from other NJ family farms. This year we are bringing back the shares in a smaller quantity at the best possible price while maintaining variety and quality.
