When I think of June, my senses come alive. The smell of ocean water, the sound of buzzing bees and the taste of Jersey fresh produce. Nowadays you don’t have to go to the crowded, stuffy supermarket to buy fruit and vegetables that are generally produced and shipped from remote places. The pick of the crop is available — June through end of October or early November — at your local farmer’s market. Each week, Jersey famers and vendors gather at many of our Midtown Direct communities with their Jersey fresh produce, herbs, breads, jams and honey, flowers, meats and pickled foods. Some even have entertainment.
You’ll walk away with all the ingredients you’ll need to prepare a healthy, organic meal that will delight even the pickiest eaters in the family. Add a bunch of Jersey fresh flowers to your table and invite friends and neighbors for a BBQ or summer lunch. You’ll be the talk of the town.
What’s more, it’s a really fun outing. There’s something for everyone — kids love a pickle on a stick and adults can rummage the assorted merchants. And the best part is you are supporting our local farmers and getting the best flavorful and fresh produce.
So this summer, avoid the grocery lines and visit one of our towns’ farmer’s markets. Each offers something a little unique. Eat well and stay healthy! Here’s a list….
