And just like that, Merc turns 5!

Celebrate with live music, a chef demo, wine and cheese tasting, and CBD treats. Merc was birthed by entrepreneurial women with a shared passion for art, sustainability, and community—and the possibilities created when we lift each other up.

The event will feature cheeses from Maplewood Wheelhouse @maplewoodwheelhouse along with wine pairings from Neighbor’s Wine in South Orange @shopneighborswine. Culinary expert Lila Lea from KitchenTable @kichentable.maplewood (a new cooking studio in Maplewood) will also provide some fun food pairings and a chef demo, tying it all together!

Jill Cohen from The Cannaboss Lady @thecannabosslady will pop up for the day to share her wisdom about the many benefits of hemp and CBD. And local singer/songwriter Mimi Reininga @bruiser_baby will set the mood as she plays her acoustic fusion of folk, pop, and indie sounds while you sip, nibble, and shop all of vintage goods.
