Summer is the season for farmers markets. They are the best place to get local and organically grown produce, locally crafted beverages, baked goods and even homemade soap. If you haven’t already, be sure to visit a local market before the season is over. Here’s a list of some of the best farmers markets in Hunterdon County.
Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers Market, Happening List Winner
