The market will take place on the second Saturday of each month from now through September.
Grasso will provide live music. Dilsaver organized the event with help from her other business, MH Events, and two other Main Street businesses, Brainstorm Books and The Tasting Room. Though Harrison Township authorities did not plan the market, they did give those three businesses permission to
hold and advertise it. “We wanted to be able to control who we brought in, because we wanted to focus on the layout for the event,” Dilsaver explained. “They’ve given us permission to put banners and yard signs for the event. We want to get the word out about it.”

In a first for Mullica Hill, a farmer’s market will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and continue on the second Saturday of each month until September. The Main Street market will feature several farms as vendors offering freshly grown food and organic based goods, including organic meats and dog treats and microgreens. Businesses along the street will also hold special pop-up sales. The goal of the event is not only spotlight the varied businesses on Main Street, but those outside of it, specifically Mullica Hill’s farmer population, according to Farm House Design owner and event organizer Hazel Dilsaver. “We want to highlight all of Harrison Township,” she said. “We wanted to support our local farmers and we’ve been wanting to do this for years. (The price of) everything is up, and we wanted to give them some recognition and relief. We offered them a small fee to join the market.” The Main Street market will feature a total of 24 vendors, according to Dilsaver, among them food trucks and local artisans. Local musician Joe
