The Nutley Farmers Market was proud to welcome WNBC Weekend Today in New York’s beloved “Produce Pete” Napolitano for a special Meet & Greet and Book Signing event yesterday. Residents and visitors had the unique opportunity to meet Produce Pete in person, get autographed copies of his brand-new cookbook, In the Kitchen with Bette & Produce Pete, as well as his award-winning memoir, They Call Me Produce Pete.

The festivities also featured the Nutley Farmers Market’s inaugural Apple Bake-Off, judged by Produce Pete himself. Commissioner Joseph Scarpelli announced winners David Foster and Pasang Pakhrin, both proud Nutley residents and Farmers Market regulars. Their entry was the very first dessert they made together, marking a special milestone for the duo and for the Nutley community.

“We want to congratulate our winners and thank Produce Pete for coming out to judge the competition,” Commissioner Scarpelli said. “There’s always something for everyone at the Nutley Farmers Market. The Market will run every Sunday through October 26th. We hope to see everyone come out and visit us!”
