To heck with these one-day-a-week farmers’ markets, decided the muckety-mucks at J. Kings, the Holtsville-based foodservice distributors. Tomorrow, June 25, J. Kings will innaugurate an open-air market at company headquarters (700 Furrows Road) showcasing farm-fresh produce from more than 35 local farmers. The market will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Participating Long Island farmers include Satur Farms of Cutchogue, Deer Run Farms of Brookhaven, Fox Hollow Farms of Calverton, Flora Greenhouses of Mattituck, Wells Family Farms of Riverhead, Schmidt Farms of Riverhead and Latham Farms of Orient. (New Jersey will be sending farmers as well.)
