second annual season of a weekly Farmers
Market, every Friday through Oct. 25
from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the two-level
south atrium located near DSW and
Wahlburgers.
“It’s very exciting to once again feature
this unique indoor farmers market at
The Block Northway. It’s an opportunity
for guests to sample locally grown farm-
fresh goods, rain or shine!” says Frank
Licata, President & Principal of LRC
Realty. “Our farmers market has become a
destination that folks look forward to each
week! It provides a fun and welcoming
experience that blends a variety of
seasonal vendors and artisan crafters.
Guests build relations with our vendors
and there is a great social energy created at
these Friday markets where guests shop,
eat and gather.”
“The first season of the Farmers
Market at The Block was fantastic. It
was wonderful to meet with members of
our community and network with local
vendors. It was even more exciting to see
some familiar faces coming into our Ross
Township store even after the market had
ended!” says Amber Atkins of The Cakery.
“The Cakery is very excited to be back for
season two!”
