As autumn approaches, we have to say good bye to one of my favorite summertime staples in New Jersey...the Jersey Fresh Farmer's Markets in Barnegat, Manahawkin and Tuckerton and Waretown.
True, Jersey Fresh items will be available through the fall at Herberts Market in Waretown on Route 9, and the B & B Market in Little Egg Harbor, on Route 9 just south of Great Bay Boulevard but you won't have a chance to talk to the people who raised the corn, tomatoes, peaches, zucchini, peppers or eggplant.
Barnegat, NJ Jersey Fresh On Thursday afternoon's (12noon - 5pm) at the Township Clock across from the Cox House, the intersection of Route 9 and East Bay Avenue through September.
Manahawkin, NJ Jersey Fresh On Friday, Saturday and Sunday's from 9am til mid afternoon at the Manahawkin Flea Market on East Bay Avenue across from the Motor Vehicle Office through September.
Tuckerton, NJ Jersey Fresh On Saturday's from 10am til 2pm at the Tuckerton Seaport on Route 9 across from Lake Pohatcong until October 19th.
Waretown, NJ Jersey Fresh On Tuesday afternoon's (12noon - 5pm)through September local growers gather to sell corn, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, peaches and everything Jersey Fresh! Fresh baked items and crafts are also available. The market is located at Indian Hill Rlaza on Route 9 in Waretown through October 26th.
Why buy Jersey Fresh? Oftentimes it's picked that morning, and on your table that evening!
