Feed Your Family with Local Produce

Farmer’s markets and farm stands have croppes up all over New Jersey.  Food tastes best when it is fresh, and fresh is exactly what you’ll get when you buy produce, meat and eggs that have been grown locally and harvested just before they are brought to your local farmer’s market or farm stand!  Many farmers who participate in local markets use sustainable farming practices and thereby help to protect and preserve natural resources.  There are a number of farmer’s markets within and close to the Upper Raritan watershed.  If you haven’t yet ventured out to one, we encourage you to do so - most will be open through late September!  To help you locate one near you, follow these links:
