About 24 farmers and vendors will participate in the market this season. HLT’s market will have a quieter opening this year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To provide a safe shopping experience, HLT has adopted a series of protocols to protect all attendees. This comprehensive list can be viewed on HLT’s website at www.hunterdonlandtrust.org. New farmers and vendors this year include Michisk Farm, Gorgeous Goat Farm, Fare Is Fowl and Evergreen Refill. Not all of these new farmers will be at the market opening, but will be at the Dvoor Farm this season.

 Explore the bird habitat of Hunterdon Land Trust’s Dvoor Farm on Sunday, July 

19 at 8:30 a.m. 

Juanita Hummel, of the Washington Crossing Audubon Society, will lead this free hour-long bird walk. She’ll stop at several habitat sites to look for various species of birds and discuss why the farm’s preservation was vital for wildlife. Red-tailed hawks, yellow-bellied sapsuckers are among the dozens of species spotted on the 

farm in previous walks. Hummel, an avid birder and nature lover, currently serves on the board of the Washington Crossing Audubon Society, and volunteers with the NJ Audubon Society, the Wildlife Conservation Corps and other conservation organizations.

Participants should register in advance by emailing dave@hunterdonlandtrust.org . Space is limited. Attendees must wear masks and practice safe social distancing. The Dvoor Farm is located at: 111 Mine St. in Flemington, NJ
