Red Bank Farmer's Market

Today was the first day Red Bank Farmer's Market was open for the season! Usually the first couple of Sundays are pretty slow, so I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to see so many vendors! A great start to the season. There were bounties of plants, flowers, fruits, and veggies...jewelry, home decor, gifts, soaps...coffees, teas...vegan pastries, regular pastries...and the list goes on!

I was in a bit of a rush today, so I didn't get to shop around as much as I would have liked, but I did manage to get my hands on a bell pepper plant. Sadly, I can't remember the name, but it's from a farmer in Old Bridge, NJ. He had so many great looking herbs, fruit, and vegetable plants. He was super nice, helpful, and grateful for the business. I'll definitely get more info on him and his farm next Sunday!


The Farmer's Market is a great way to spend your Sunday morning while supporting local farmers and small businesses. It's part of our family's weekend routine, and I highly reccomend you make it part of yours too!
