The Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers’ Market will host a health day on Sunday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Farmers’ Market is located at the Dvoor Farm, 111 Mine St. in Raritan Township.

Visitors will find several health and wellness professionals offering information and advice among local farmers selling organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed beef, chicken, artisan bread, cheese, honey and more.

Visitors can learn all about the Hunterdon Medical Center’s Dean Ornish Reversal of Heart Disease Program, the first program scientifically proven to “undo” (reverse) heart disease by making comprehensive lifestyle changes.

Ornish Program specialist Deborah Kline will offer blood pressure checks and smoothie samples, and have information available at the market about the program.

The Ornish team will also host two brief programs in our wagon house: one on Lifestyle Medicine and the Ornish program, and a short stress management session that may include a smoothie making demonstration and a glimpse at a Love and Support session.

These programs are free; and you can learn more at www.hunterdonlandtrust.org. You can also sign up for these programs by contacting Judy Wilson at judy@hunterdonlandtrust.org or 908-237-4582.

Older adults or children of elderly parents can learn about how best to navigate the health care system with Nightingale NJ Eldercare Navigators.

Health coach Karen Sammer will attend the market with loads of information and advice on health and nutrition. Sammer is a certified holistic health counselor and a certified nutrition consultant.

The market will also offer an acupuncture demonstration in our wagon house with Nicole Maniez of Jersey Community Acupuncture in Flemington.
