Vendors on this date
↗Bread & Company
A good loaf can turn an ordinary meal into something worth gathering around. Bread & Company, Jill’s Hunterdon County cottage bakery, celebrates that simple pleasure with handcrafted sourdough, focaccia, and sweet treats. The sourdough breads and focaccia rise from a naturally leavened starter, while the bakery’s wider selection includes vegan and gluten-free options among its bakes. Pick up bread for a leisurely breakfast, slice a loaf alongside soup, or make focaccia the centerpiece of a market-inspired lunch. Leave a little room for something sweet to share—or to enjoy all to yourself. Jill’s baking brings the care of a local kitchen to your table, making this a delicious stop for both weekly staples and those small treats that make Saturday special.
↗Dr. K. Healthy Products
Meet the maker behind a simpler approach to everyday skin care. Dr. K. Healthy Products brings No Worries Balm to Stangl, the collection created by allergist Dr. Kristen M. Sikorski. Lip and body balms, soaps, and lotions are at the heart of the range, with fragrance-free options and an emphasis on short ingredient lists across the brand’s own formulas. Explore a balm for your bag, a soap for the bathroom, or a thoughtful addition to a gift basket. The market offers a chance to see the products up close and talk with the person behind them, making a familiar daily purchase feel more personal. Browse the collection, compare the individual ingredients, and discover a local business bringing its own ideas to everyday essentials.
↗Flower Basket Ladybug
Wrap yourself in the color and texture of Flower Basket Ladybug. Christine Pane creates sewn, crocheted, and knitted pieces, including shawls, scarves, vests, and handmade accessories with plenty of personality.

Each design offers another way to enjoy the artistry of something made by hand. Browse for a light finishing touch, a comfortable layer, or a gift that reflects someone’s individual style. Christine’s online shop makes it easy to keep exploring between market visits, while an appearance at Stangl offers the pleasure of seeing the work up close.

Visit John’s table, discover what’s available, and bring home the makings of your next delicious gathering around the dinner table.
↗One Compost Can
Make your Saturday shopping part of something that keeps growing. One Compost Can, led by Dolph Geurds, helps households and businesses collect food scraps for composting through residential pickup, market drop-off, and commercial services. At Stangl, participating subscribers can bring their green bucket with its lid and exchange it for a clean one—a practical way to make composting part of the weekly routine. After choosing good food from the market, give the scraps a useful next chapter. Stop by to learn how the service works, what belongs in the bucket, and which subscription fits your household. One Compost Can brings a community-minded idea right to the market, making it easier to connect the food we enjoy with care for the world around us.
↗P & L Crafts
Give a garden corner a cheerful new resident with P & L Crafts. Jim Luxich’s handcrafted birdhouses and seasonal home decorations combine practical little shapes with painted floral details and bright color. The collection brings a playful spirit to woodcraft, inviting you to appreciate both the structure of a piece and the personal touch of its decoration. A small object can make a favorite outdoor space feel more welcoming. Browse the gallery for colors and designs that fit your home, or think of someone who loves a garden gift. When Jim is on the lineup, ask about the intended use and care of the available pieces. It is a chance to choose something with character and support the hands-on creativity that makes a local market worth exploring.
↗Stephanie’s Soulful Bites
Let someone else take care of a little comfort cooking. Stephanie’s Soulful Bites brings prepared food to Stangl, with chicken pot pies among the dishes that have appeared in the market’s weekly selection. It’s a welcoming stop when you’re craving a familiar meal and want to take home something satisfying for the table. Build an easy supper around a pot pie, add fresh vegetables or a salad from another market vendor, and enjoy an evening with less planning in the kitchen. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or gathering people around a meal, Stephanie’s offers a delicious reason to leave room in your bag. Discover the day’s dishes and celebrate the local cooks who help make everyday eating feel a little more special.
↗The Happy Hooker
Color, texture, and plenty of personality come together at The Happy Hooker’s crochet table. Granny-square cardigans, ponchos, and accessories bring handmade detail to everyday dressing, celebrating a craft that turns individual stitches into something you can wear and enjoy. The collection is an invitation to fall for a color combination, a cozy layer, or a piece that feels wonderfully like you. Browse for an outfit-changing accent or choose a handmade gift with someone special in mind. If the making interests you as much as the finished work, strike up a conversation; past market offerings have included information about learning to crochet. Stop by to appreciate the stitches, meet the maker, and bring a little more color into your week.
↗The Salad Basket
Fresh ideas for lunch and dinner are always welcome, and Martha Dreswick’s The Salad Basket brings plenty to the table. This Flemington business offers a changing selection of seasonal salads, soups, spreads, and dips, along with Martha’s house dressing. From a colorful bowl to a comforting soup, the collection makes it easy to bring variety to everyday meals. Pick up lunch for yourself, add a side to supper, or choose a dip to share with friends and a loaf of market bread. The seasonal menu invites you to revisit a favorite and discover something different along the way. Stop by Martha’s table for food that fits the way you want to eat—and the pleasure of supporting a familiar face in the local food community.
↗Three Bees Soap Co.
Make a small everyday purchase feel more personal with Three Bees Soap Co., a soap maker featured in Stangl’s newsletters. A bar of soap can be both useful and enjoyable: something for your own sink, a thoughtful addition to a guest space, or a simple gift paired with another market find. Choosing from a maker’s offering adds a human connection to a familiar household essential. Browse the gallery and look for confirmed market dates to explore the available selection in person. Ask about individual ingredients, fragrances, and care as you choose a bar for yourself or someone else. A local market makes room for these little discoveries, turning the practical things on your list into opportunities to meet and support the people behind them.
