New guide to central NJ farmers’ markets

A new 199-source listing of local foods, “Farm Markets of Central New Jersey,” is now available for purchase. The publication, produced by the Conservation Committee of the Garden Club of Princeton, tells readers where to find local produce, meats, poultry, cheese, wine – and what’s in season in Burlington, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth and Somerset counties. Proceeds from the $10 guide will be donated to Farmers Against Hunger, a group that distributes donated produce from New Jersey farmers to soup kitchens and food pantries around the state.
