That peachy flavor you’ve been waiting for from Cheese Etc. & Gourmet Gifts IS HERE! Their Spiked Peaches & Cream is deliciously light and creamy. Cream cheese is blended with their own Jersey Fresh Peach Jam, made in house of course, and then finished with a splash of Amaretto. It's the perfect way to wake up your breakfast. Your bagels deserve better, so don’t disappoint them!

On a side note, they are making even more of that Philly Dilly Pickle Dip this weekend. Come early…it sold out in an hour last Saturday!

Mill Creek Apiary's Lemon Vanilla Creamed Honey is back in stock! This honey is made with wildflower honey, fresh vanilla bean and freshly juiced lemon. This honey has a thick, creamy, buttery texture that is perfect on toast, in smoothies or cocktails or simply on its own! Stop by for a taste.

MECHA will have a special 6 piece box for $17. That's 3 Peach Bourbon, 1 Cinnamon Mocha, 1 Matcha and

1 Banana Rum.

The Enlightened Tomato is all set for Melon Day with their Watermelon, tomato, feta cheese, fresh mint and citrus vinaigrette salad. They will also have spicy Watermelon cucumber salad with roasted peanuts, Thai basil and chili crisp honey vinaigrette. You may have heard by now about their famous Roasted tomato cheese spread, Roasted tomato hummus and Black bean & fresh Jersey corn salad. So pick some up!

Is It Spicy? Sauce Co. is excited to bring two NEW products to the market this week: Melon Pico De Gallo and Peplowski’s Fruit Farm Peach Hot Sauce. As always, all of their salsas and shelf stable sauces are sourced with New Jersey produce.

More Amazing Market Finds

We are pleased to have Bart's Flowers returning for a day. You'll see Tom at the entrance, but to the left. Stop by for his hanging basket sale.

Kelly Girl Desserts & Pastries tried to stick to the theme, but peaches kept bringing her back :) Look for peach cobbler, peach cobbler pound cake, and vegan peach and mango galettes.

Introducing BURNTBAR Blueberry Lemon! Some flavors take months of fine-tuning, but standard rules didn’t apply here. The moment BurntBar took their first bite of this recipe they knew it had to launch. Meet their newest flavor creation, Blueberry Lemon. They've paired juicy berries with a bright, zesty splash of citrus, perfectly balanced against their signature golden-baked, rich crunch. It’s light, vibrant, and pure summer in every bite.

To celebrate Melon Day with our furry friends, Whinnie’s Barkery will have a limited supply of Freeze‑Dried Cantaloupe available for dogs and rabbits. Freeze-Dried Cantaloupe is a sweet treat for Dogs and Rabbits with real health benefits. It provides beta‑carotene for eye and skin health, vitamin C, natural electrolytes, and gentle fiber to support immune and digestive wellness. Because fruit contains natural sugars, please let your pets enjoy this treat in small portions.

Cantaloupe pies that you must try.
