WHO WE ARE
The Wenonah Farmers Market is a community-supported project organized by the Woman's Club of Wenonah NJ. As a 501c3 non-profit, our mission is to bring fresh fruits, vegetables, and other locally sourced food items and crafts to residents of Wenonah and surrounding areas.
In doing so, the market promotes healthy cooking and eating, supports local farms and small businesses, and brings community members of all ages together for a wholesome, convenient outdoor shopping experience.
We also strive to follow a "Zero Waste" philosophy to remove, reduce, and recycle plastics. We eliminate plastic bags and packaging by encouraging our shoppers to bring their own reusable bags and our vendors to use compostable, biodegradable, and/or reusable packaging.

FAQs
What happens if it rains or snows?
The market is open rain or shine. If, for some reason, there is a severe weather event that requires the closure of the market, the Woman's Club will notify you via the email/phone on file.
What happens if I can't make it?
Please notify the Market Committee at farmersmarket@wcwenonah.org as soon as possible. Please note that there will be no reimbursement.
Where are bathrooms for public use?
The Wenonah Free Public Library at 101 E Mantua Ave (across from the park) has a bathroom available, but please leave a small tip or a kind word with the librarian after using the facility.
*Our other neighboring businesses would like to remind visitors that their bathrooms are for their paying customers only. (They are our neighbors, too, so please don't make us look bad to them!)
