Testimonials
Our vendor community is at the heart of everything we do.
Asbury Fresh is the bees knees,
dare I say the cats pajamas. I’ve been a seasonal vendor for two years & am thankful to be a part of this community.
FRESH markets team provides a space
which is truly community based! They curate some of the best makers for their events which are always organized and professionally managed. I must have referred over a dozen other vendors to them and I look forward to continue being a part of the community!
I can honestly say that being
a vendor at FRESH markets has changed my life. Being a seasonal vendor for the past two years has given me endless opportunities, but what I love most about it is the community of vendors/managers that quickly become your family. If you’re looking for a community of creatives who love what they do & love supporting others, FRESH markets is the place for you!

let us count the ways! Reason # 1, The staff are so filled with warmth and joy. She is so terrific to work with! Reason # 2, the other vendors! What an amazing group of talented individuals! From the moment we started here, we were adopted into this amazing community (family really). Reason #3 working in the iconic Bell Works building. Such a great place to work!
