Let’s hope that Hurricane Ian will not visit the Market this Saturday! If the weather holds out, we will welcome all our vendors. (If it is canceled, it will be posted on website and via email alert).

This is the next to last market so begin stocking up on all your favorites. Pick up your pumpkins, gourds and fall flowers from Ort Farms – as well as all their jams and jellies and preserves. Fill your shelves and freezers with nature’s bounty. Julia Murtha will be back – you will want to get to the market early if you want any of her homemade pop tarts. 

The Mayor and Council will be on hand to meet and greet.

We’ll welcome the Morris County Sheriff’s Department with lots of information of public interest. 

Thank you for your generosity supporting Cavan Markt and the Cub Scouts!  

Morris Plains wants everyone to take responsibility for their actions and pride in the environment and the town – don’t litter, and put trash and recyclables in their proper place.

You can help by picking up trash that you find along our streets and tossing it in a garbage can.
