Locally Grown Foods: A Taste of Home

Apple Ridge Farm: Fill your basket with a loaf fresh baked sourdough, pastries or focaccia. I dare you to not tear a piece off to snack on as you walk the market. If you haven't tried their vampire repellent, it makes an amazing dip for that focaccia, or take your burgers to the next level with a dollop!

Cabbage Throw Farm: Shop certified organic vegetables grown right here in Hunterdon County. Shop lettuces almost too beautiful to eat, and create gorgeous sides and salads for your BBQ!
Gorgeous Goat Creamery: Make your own Michelin star hors d'oeuvres with their spreadable chevres, toss feta into your salad or pasta, add their aged goat cheeses to your cheese plate. Pick up a gift that keeps on giving: small-batch handcrafted goats milk soaps and lotions.
Solebury Nectar: Small batch natural and flavored honey produced sustainably. Makes a fabulous gift for tea lovers, a delicious cheese plate addition or just enjoy with a spoon straight out of the jar!
Sugar Maple Jerseys: Your BBQ Starts here with 100% pasture raised pork, veal, chicken and beef, burgers & sausages, and a variety of cheeses all produced on their dairy farm in Stockton, NJ.
Wildspawn Mushrooms: Locally foraged and cultivated gourmet mushrooms that you won't find anywhere else. Harvested at the peak of freshness to guarantee a nourishing and flavorful experience!
