I think she does some good stuff for Communipaw and a farmer's market there is a good idea but idk. You can't try to be an influencer and then complain about drama and shit. Its just kind of cringe.

Sure, once I get a chance today

That's dope!

The farmer's market in JC Heights has a program that matches $10 of produce purchased by customers using a food assistance card.

In my experience they have good quality control. You're not going to buy an heirloom tomato that changes your life there, but you're also not going to buy tomatoes that taste like cardboard or rot after 3 minutes. It's a safe choice.

(I also haven't regularly shopped at Walmart in NJ for what it's worth, and the experience probably varies location-to-location.)

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. The church nearby gives food away about once a month and the proximity made me conflate what that survey aspires to accomplish and what the church does.

But what you're saying makes way more sense for a farmers market.

> They talk about SNAP and affordable food...will vendors be forced to sell things at a certain price? Because I can picture mangoes going for $5 each here.

A friend of mine is a vendor who sells at multiple farmer's markets. They accept SNAP/EBT, but it's at regular prices. While the prices are often higher at farmer's markets, they are also often held in urban areas where fresh produce and other items aren't locally available (food deserts).

Cheap, sure but high quality? Really? Maybe I'll have to check it out

For us? It apparently is too much to ask.

For Paul Fireman, it's too little because there's no way for him and his friends to make money from selling tickets to sporting events, music performance, and charging the state fees to build and maintain a bunch of commercial properties.

Eponymous means self-titled. So you can talk about The Smiths' eponymous first album, or their second album, Meat Is Murder.

Glad to hear!

Got mine today!

There’s so much construction in the heights, probably going to wait until a good majority is done. If not, they’ll just get cut up again. But I agree, the roads are atrocious

The Governor’s office does not release information regarding specific individuals or groups of individuals who are receiving/ applied for the ANCHOR program. However, more than 1.7 million New Jersey residents applied for the ANCHOR program, so it’s safe to say that some of those who applied could be in this community.

For “safety”?? What could be so dangerous about a farmers market? Or am I just that ignorant to believe that a farmers market carries little risk?

You gotta love those government program acronyms. ANCHOR stands for the Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters property tax relief program. It updates and expands upon the former Homestead Benefit property tax relief program by extending eligibility to renters for the first time in a generation, as well as increasing the income threshold for eligible homeowners.

Would a couple of fields, a dog park, and a few nature walking trails be so much to ask...

And how many of those 800k are in this sub?

NJ is one of the most polluted states and has the most super fund sites in the country.

I have been mentioning this for some time now.

The best place to access cheap high-quality produce is actually Walmart, but nobody wants to hear that so ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯
