This is the third farmer's market I've reviewed, and probably the last one I need to review,…read morebecause this is the best of the three. Every year we look forward to the local farmer's markets opening in the spring and the one in Morristown is usually great. I'm always a big proponent of supporting your locals so I try to put my money where my mouth is and buy what I can here (and the other local farmers' markets). It's a little more expensive than what you pay in the supermarkets, but for a lot of the produce you can taste the difference. Jersey corn and Jersey tomatoes are the best in the country (yeah, I said that Iowa, Nebraska, California and Florida). The pickle guy makes some of the best I've ever tried...huge fan of the hot and spicy ones. The cheese stand is pretty good, but a lot of it is made from goat or sheep milk-not my favorite, but pretty damn good. Also a huge fan of the bread stand, the fresh honey, and the fish monger. Just sitting here writing this makes me long for warmer weather and fresh produce! This market is very dog friendly (if you're interested in bringing your pup), but one negative is the parking and getting in and out...it can get a little tight. Really looking for the first weekend they're open in June.

The Morristown Farmers' Market is held every Sunday from June thru November. The market has an…read moreabundance of produce vendors (usually six), plus stands offering breads and pastry, cheeses, frozen meats and sausages, raw fish and local honey. The first Sunday of the month there is extra good stuff, usually a musician plus additional farmers. This market is organized by the Morristown Partnership. I was pleased to learn that the Partnership requires all vendors to sell only products made in New Jersey. Try the fresh farm eggs from Michisk's Farm of Flemington! I love the braided sesame twist from Baker's Bounty of Linden. The fresh flounder from the fish people of Long Beach Island is a little expensive at about $18/lb but very good. Occasionally I'll get olives from Pickle-Licious to make putanesca sauce with tomatoes from Michisk's. Alstede's market stand has the largest variety of produce, including herbs, peppers, onions, apples, peaches, corn, melon and so on. Alstede might be the only stand that accepts credit cards. My wife likes to get sunflowers from the flower stand. One large produce stand is completely organic. Once in a while I'll get a kielbasy from the Polish food people. The cheese people have interesting stuff but it's annoyingly spendy at about $25/lb. This market has relatively few prepared foods other than pastries and breads; there's no deli food and no coffee place, just huge piles of fresh, local produce ready to be turned into great meals. I like to go early, they open promptly at 8:30.

Open Thursday afternoons 1-6, which is pretty convenient because by then we've run out of local peaches and other goodies from the previous weekend markets! Season is June - October. Parking is easy on the streets nearby too. I get the sense that Madison struggles to accommodate this market because every year it's in a different place. One year it was on Waverly, then it was banished for a year to the grounds of the old Bayley-Ellard school, and now it's back in town on one very small block of Green Village Road, right outside the Museum of Tradecraft.

The best thing about this place is the best sushi place in Morristown, K.C. Sushi - great rolls at a good price, always fresh, highly highly recommended. I walked past 15 times before trying a roll, and now I get dinner there once a week. As a sushi fanatic, I love having it in my backyard and you should too. Back to the produce stand . . decent food options but somewhat overpriced - go there for fresh produce and lots of it. If you want to spend $10/lb for portabello mushrooms, go to King's. For $3.49/lb, go here. Your call.

They have an assortment of Asian and Hispanic sweets that please the palate, despite not being familiar tastes. One time I was hoping to buy flowers for my girlfriend after she got back from a long business trip. It was 5 minutes after their closing time and they weren't letting customers in - however, I asked them really nicely and they let me in to buy flowers. Mad love. Well priced flowers. Accepts credit card purchases over $10. I left my wallet at the sushi guy's station, and he called me. All of my money and cards were in tact when I came back to get it. Great guy.

All winter they bring eggs, apples, beets, mushrooms, turnips and greenhouse-grown lettuce and greens. Prepared foods include breads, cheese, flour, kombuchas, pickles & olives, empanadas, soups and more. Also vendors selling stuff like candles and alpaca wool. There's usually at least one food truck, making meals like tamales or pizza. And the coffee people are always here. Plenty of free parking. Everything else is pretty darn expensive. It drives me nuts how many vendors don't bother to post prices on their goods.. you just have to hope the radishes are not $1 million! Especially the ppl with frozen meat, absolutely no signs.

I don't know if all of the vendors are there every week, but the day I went there were lots of them and the market was busy. I got the ingredients for a dinner of Nicola's pork osso buco ravioli topped with foraged mushrooms from Dining Wild and fresh herbs from Long Valley Greens. Lots of cheese and meats and eggs. Bobolink Dairy is there with its excellent breads. Lots of baked goods - Race Farm has great donuts. There are non-food vendors as well. And no NJ Farmers Market would be complete without Picklelicious.

Years later and I am back at Wightman Farms! It was just like I remembered it and this time, we…read moremade sure to arrive right when the farm opened on a Sunday morning. Tickets were around $30 which include a hayride, souvenir bag for apple picking, one pumpkin, access to the corn maze and more. We started with the hayride first it was so relaxing and the air was still cold and crispy. It led us right to the pumpkin area where we got to select one pumpkin then head over to explore the rest of the farm. Apple picking was nice but if you can't do mini hills, you may want to stay on even land. We walked as far as we could to pick apples then headed to the area where they weigh your bag and then you pay for them. There's also pumpkin slingshot that is an additional charge plus food vendors. A lot of the vendors only took cash so keep that in mind. Lastly, we stopped at the store and although it was crowded, we already knew we were there for apple cider and donuts. In addition to that, you'll find salads, sandwiches, pies, apples, candy corn, etc. Definitely get cold or hot cider to go plus a bag of donuts. They have tons of parking too and staff to direct you to an empty spot so no worries there. Just enjoy the day and have fun!!

The hayride is so much fun and you get great views. (Be prepared. It is a little bumpy). All of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and they even have a pumpkin slingshot area, which is so much fun! All in all, Wightman's Farm has a great set up that is family-friendly, and not overly expensive. It's definitely worth the drive.

So I decided to give my local farmers market another chance. I know they open at 8am, and are…read moresupposed to be set up at 8am. That never happens, so I planned to arrive at 8:30. Vendors were still setting up. I only needed a few things, so I saw that the Melick farm stand had most of what I needed. There were no prices on anything on the right side of their stand. I asked how much the corn was, and they said 6 for $5. I asked how much the tomatoes were, and they said $2.49 a pound. I started picking a few, then heard someone else ask, and they were told $2.99 a pound. I asked again what the actual price is, and they said $2.99 Ok. So I just got the corn and some other heirloom tomatoes ($3.99 a pound!). The 3 ears of corn should have been $2.50 but they charged me $3.00. I said I was told it was 6 for $5, so 3 should be $2.50. They said it is $1 each. So they need to tell people that or put the damn price on the table! When I complained about the prices being different, one of the brilliant women told me that prices change week to week. I told her it changed from 3 minutes ago. Sheesh. Bye-bye!!

The vendors change from week to week, but the usual staples are always represented -- farm fresh produce and flowers from several vendors, home made pies, craft cheeses, yummy baked granola, and healthy whole-grain baked goods. On a recent Saturday, Pickle Licious of Teaneck, NJ offered up their terrific olives and half-sour, full-sour, and hot & spicy pickles. There's plenty of free and convenient parking in the Bernardsville train station. The market is open from 9am til 2pm, but be sure to get there early as many of the vendors are sold out and packed up by noon. Most of the vendors only accept cash, but there are ATM's located at the Wachovia bank across Mine Brook Road and in the Bernardsville train station.
