NJ’s favorite farmers market is bustling all winter

While you may never have considered visiting a farmers market during the winter months, there’s one that you need to see. And that’s the special West Windsor Farmers Market.

First of all, in the winter, it’s less crowded, which means shorter lines, and that means you have time to get to know the farmers, the vendors, and your neighbors.

Visiting in the winter gives you more of a chance to get to know people in your neighborhood.

The West Windsor Farmers Market is celebrating its 21st season in 2024. A lot of New Jersey doesn't even know it exists But if you know, you know. Because it does attract food lovers from all over.

When you visit the market, you’ll find all kinds of goodies from local farmers. Fresh fruits and veggies, locally grown oats, meats, eggs, cheese, pies, flowers, honey and the
list goes on and on.

Try some foods from Beechtree Farm - grass-fed meats, pastured poultry, honey, eggs, syrup, jerky and hides.
