THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
The Farmers’ Market has returned to Ridgewood, setting up shop on the west side of the village’s train station.
Organized by the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, the market, which is back for its 15th straight year, is one of the very few remaining true farmers’ markets.
“The market only sells food, no candles or anything like that,” said Joan Groome, executive director of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce.
The market will take place this year every Sunday through the end of October, rain or shine.
“The sellers put their food under tents, so the market will come off unless there are extreme conditions,” Groome said.
Merchants include a mozzarella cheese salesman; a baker; a jelly and jam salesman; Picklelicious, a well-known pickle company that attends many farmers’ markets; and two farmers.
Although the majority of wares for sale have remained static for most of the market’s history, the farmers sell whatever produce is in season, meaning that their inventory will change throughout the year. This gives attendees a variety of options to choose from, and keeps things interesting.

Food Fight: Lunch vendors file claim agains Ridgewood school board

A claim has been filed against the Board of Education (BOE) that challenges its recent decision to ban outside vendors from delivering lunch to Ridgewood students at school.
In the claim, attorney Victor Herlinsky, of the law firm Sills Cummis and Gross, notes that “Ridgewood has acted in an arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable manner by relying on an ever-changing set of rationales for the cancellation and continually refusing to engage with plaintiffs to reach a resolution that would reverse the cancellation and benefit all parties.”
Herlinsky believes his clients have a solid case.
“The only problem is this case is going to take months, if not years, to litigate,” he said. “It’s going to take a tremendous amount of school board resources.”
The three outside vendors who have taken issue with the ban are Parkwood Delicatessen & Catering in Midland Park; Westside Bagel & Deli in Ridgewood; and No Fuss Lunch, a school lunch delivery business run by Ridgewood mother Gabriella Wilday. Ridgewood parents Oliver and Alla Train, Maya Scanlon, Leigh Warren and Wilday’s husband James are also plaintiffs.
