Riverview Park - Peach Pie Competition Results and Farmers' Market

This past Sunday, on a beautiful and sunny day, the Riverview Park Farmers' Market hosted one of the state-wide Peach Pie contests. There were 13 entries in all, and Joleen Crosta of Belleville, NJ took first place with her "Vegan Peachy Peach Pie", filled with Jersey peaches and topped with an almond crumble. Sandy Martiny won second-place with her amaretto crumble topped peach pie and Lara Hartman placed third with a ginger peach pie.

Monday night, I took some time to wander around the Farmers' Market outside the Grove Street Path.  I love the Farmers’ Market and make it a point to do some shopping there whenever I can. It’s grown a huge amount over the past few years and I love seeing the variety of stands and vendors that show up.  Here are some samples of what can be found:

Choc-O-Pain was there, advertising their store-front, and selling some very tempting-looking pastries.
