Shoprite needs a double dose of a bulldozer with a wrecking ball attached! I LOATHE that place and their unfriendly staff. The A&P near the soon to be closing Linen's and Things is much better with their produce, but if I feel like getting SUPER fresh produce, I travel to Edgewater to go to either Whole Foods or Mitsuwa. IMHO, Mitsuwa has the freshest produce for the price. It's fresher than Whole Foods at half the cost. They also have exotic fruits and vegetables from Japan. Check it out!

Our farmers' market in Van Vorst Park is still open every Saturday from 8am-2pm until and including November 22nd.

Hudson Farmers Market
3437 John F Kennedy Blvd
Jersey City, NJ 07307
(201) 792-2992

I think a good replacement would be either Demarest Farms in Hillsdale or Trautwein Farms in Closter both in Bergen County.

Demarest Farms 244 Werimus Road Hillsdale, NJ 07642

Trautwein Farms 515 Piermont Road, Closter, NJ 07624
(201) 768-1438 smaller place no website

Or you could either ride down to Colts Neck in Monmouth County and drive along Rt. 34 to Delicious Orchards. http://www.deliciousorchardsnj.com/scripts/openExtra.asp?extra=16

or take a country ride up to Sussex County and drive along Rt. 23. both roads have various stands along the way.

The summer is gone and so as Farmer's Market...

I am tired of buying sorry produce from Shoprites.

Are there any "Farm Stand" or some sort of markets run by local farmers near here?
I drive up to an hour to get fresh vegitables and fruits. Any tips?

Thanks in advance!
