The GRFM ran for 19 Sundays at no $ expense to the borough.

Green Events, LLC is extremely pleased to make a donation of all GRFM after tax net profits (an estimated $5000) to the Glen Rock Creative Team under Sustainable Jersey pending acceptance. 

​*Green Events, LLC, was contracted to run the GRFM in partnership with the borough. The private company is owned by a Glen Rock resident/GRFM pilot market resident volunteer who organized the initiative. The company was founded in February 2017 with the intention of running the GRFM as a sustainable effort; to hire employees and pay other expenses at little or no cost to the borough.

​$20 Market Cash, 9am YOGA on the Lawn, Healthy Aging Wisdom (Activities & Food), Canvas Painting, Knife Sharpening

Many thanks to Glen Rock's Painting with a Twist for donating painting supplies for canvas painting at this Sunday's Healthy Aging Activities Day!

• Pre-Market YOGA with Julie Finkel Sign Up Here or at the Market.
• Starting at 10:00 a.m market visitors may participate in a 5 minute "Selfie Study.” The first 100 (with the possibility of up to 200) participants to offer feedback on selfie technology
  earn $20 VOUCHERS to spend at the market.
• PAINT from 10am-2pm: Paint a canvas with supplies generously donated by Glen Rock's Painting with a Twist and Girl Scout Jill Wilson, and with help from the GRHS Key Club and Creative Team.
• All Activities are Free of Charge. 

​​
The market is tapping into the fountain of youth with inspiring seniors, farmers, and chefs this Sunday. On October 1st, these inspiring folks will be sharing their “Secret Sauce Recipes” for a healthy, joyful, and long life.

All activities are free of charge.

The day begins with pre-market yoga at 9am with Julie Finkel, and from 10am-2pm market visitors of all ages are invited to paint a canvas with the Glen Rock Environmental Commission’s Creative Team and Girl Scout Jill Wilson. Painting supplies will be provided by Glen Rock’s Painting with a Twist.

Beginning at 10:00 a.m market visitors may participate in a 5 minute "Selfie Study.” The first 100-200 participants to offer feedback on selfie technology earn $20 vouchers to spend at the market.

This day was inspired by Alex Scheinfeld, a 92 year-old painter with Parkinson's Disease who started painting in his eighties. Mr. Scheinfeld asked to bring his paintings to the farmers market to inspire seniors to find their joy regardless of the obstacles they may face. Scheinfeld’s daughters recreated his paintings into cards and will be distributing the cards to market visitors at no charge.

Dacha Fermented Veggies, Kimchi Culture, and Au Brothier’s Bone Broth, along with all of our vendors, look forward to explaining how their products support health and longevity. Farmer Jeff Wallace of Growing Dirt can share why grass fed and pasture raised eggs and beef have a better ratio of heart, joint, and brain protective omega 3 and 6 fatty acids than non-pasture raised. How food is grown and prepared can impact the nutritional value.

Research shows that healthy food choices, exercise, and meditative activities such as yoga and painting are important “secret sauce” ingredients to creating healthful aging and easing the symptoms of diseases like Parkinson's Disease.

Girl Scout Jill Wilson will also be at the market with her grandfather Phil Grabow by her side. Ms. Wilson will be sharing healthy aging resources and activities. Mr. Grabow is 77 years-old and is living a full and physically active life with Parkinson's Disease. Although he's stopped doing handstands at parties, he still enjoys tennis, boxing, basketball occasionally, and challenging himself by participating in events like mud runs. (Phil Grabow’s inspiring pictures can be seen here.)

Along with the Glen Rock Farmers Market’s weekly farmers and makers, the market welcomes back Neil's Sharpening Service (bring your dull knives, scissors, and garden tools), Stefan's Pure Polish Blends, Greenwood Lake Roasters, & Au Brothier's Bone Broth and Dog Biscuits.

COMMUNITY MEMBER PROFILE GRHS Student, Zoe Shea

June 13, 2017
Rachel Halpern, GRHS Student

Glen Rock has many talented residents and their participation at the market is what makes it a fun and educational community event. Zoe Shea is a sophomore at Glen Rock High School. She has been volunteering her time at the Glen Rock Farmers Market to bring art to the community. Zoe became involved with the Glen Rock Farmers Market when her Art Major I teacher, Ms. Cella, approached her and put her in touch with resident artist and art teacher, Libby Deely, who is helping launch a Sustainable Jersey Glen Rock Creative Art Team alongside Glen Rock Green Team member Arati Kreibich. Volunteers Deeley and Kreibich wanted to spread art to the community and felt involving high school students was a great way to get the community to participate, and that the farmers market was a great space to hold art events.

Before the June 4th opening day of the farmers market, Zoe and other Glen Rock High School students traced circles on a giant banner and families colored in the circles at the market. Zoe and the Glen Rock Art Club then assembled the circles into a big collage that they hung at the second farmers market. Zoe hopes to continue with another art project in which two giant wings are made, and similar to the circle project, feathers will be cut out. Then community members can draw or paint on the feathers at the market, and finally the feathers will be attached to two large wings. Once completed, market visitors can take selfies with the wings. Zoe plans to host a community art project every-other-week and display the final projects throughout the borough.
