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!!

Support your local farmers and vendors! This farmers market is located at the Bernardsville train…read morestation, just across the street from The Bernards Inn on US 202, on Saturdays from 9am til 2pm beginning June 13 through the end of October. 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.

Lots of variety! And dogs!…read more Super family friendly, or just a great place to walk through. With lots of local bakers, farmers, cheese makers, coffee vendors, lotion or soap bar, Popsicle stands, protein suppliers and more, you'll find everything you need and more here. I was even surprised to find a distiller here and it's fantastic! Bought me a bottle of whiskey as a souvenir! Street parking is available. And come early on the hot days. Enjoy!

People must be starved for severely-overpriced artisanal cheese and baked goods, because the crowd…read morehere on this rainy Sunday was off the hook. Parking is a nightmare; try getting a street spot a couple of blocks away, as the muni lot nearby is a demolition derby waiting to happen. I would expect to pay more than supermarket prices for the cheese, bread and veggies here, but these vendors are just gouging with their prices, like $15 for s medium loaf of bread, $24 for a modest wedge of gouda, and $15 for one crab cake. If they picked up their tents from upscale Summit, and dropped them into a town like Roselle Park, I guarantee these astronomical prices would drop like rocks. Try Scotch Plains farmers market on Saturdays instead.

In 2012 Parsippany hosted its own Farmer's Market and I have to say, for the biggest town in Morris…read moreCounty it was pretty lame. Maybe that was a little harsh, but when they announced they would host this market I assumed it would be similar in size to Morristown's, or at least Denville's, but it was very small, just a handful of vendors. The vendors here are fine, I don't want to make them out to be bad or anything, in fact some are the same as the other two local markets, but there just aren't enough of them. The produce is delicious, i really just prefer more of a choice and some variation. I will say that it was nice having the fresh produce available on a Friday...you know, for that end of week BBQ that I have come to love! I don't know yet if they are hosting another Farmer's Market this year-haven't seen an announcement, but if they do I hope they kick it up a notch.

All of the big local farms are here, Alstede, Stony Hill, and a few others, selling a variety of fresh produce. There are also a variety of prepared items. There is a specialty nut booth, pickles and olives, flavored olive oils and vinegar, soul food, and baked goods. It's a great market to get some healthy, interesting foods.

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.

But this little farmers market is not really much to speak of. The one farm that seemed to have fresh produce had awful tasting pastries and very little produce to speak of for outrageous prices. The food trucks were nothing special. They were exceptionally overpriced. This area is slowly getting gentrified but you still have pockets of people who can barely afford to buy their normal groceries, yet the town thinks its ok to have food trucks selling $16 lobster rolls that are barely 4-5 inches long...The seller at the truck said I was the only person to buy one the entire day...I found nothing to showcase the neighborhood...nothing Caribbean. Nothing Creole. Nothing with pulled pork, no ceviche, no conch fritters. There was only one woman who had juices present and some baked goods for a decent price. The music aspect is the best part but is only for the last half hour. The rest of the booths were random institutions or banks that had nearly as much business of being at a fresh/farmers market event as you'd imagine. Meh, I'll just stick to the events in the city that make more sense. It supposedly occurs on Tuesdays throughout the Summer.
