The farmers market is every Saturday from 9-2 and runs from July through October. I wish it would start earlier than July but I'll take what I can get. The farmers market usually has at least two actual farms selling a variety of fruits and vegetables. Depending on the month you can get corn, blueberries, peaches, cantaloupes, cucumbers, tomatoes...the list goes on and on. Everything is reasonably priced and delicious, of course. Besides the farms there are other vendors as well including High Mountain Farms which sells fresh ravioli, meatballs and other Italian specialties. A pickle vendor is also usually there as well as a fruit and nut seller and bakery. We go here every Saturday and stock up on produce for the week. This farmers market illustrates why NJ is called The Garden State.

They had a good selection of pies, but unfortunately, they only sell them by the whole pie, and not the slice. I would've loved to try a slice of their pie. I did buy a half dozen of their cinnamon, apple cider donuts, and unfortunately, I was disappointed. First of all, they were dusted with way too much cinnamon sugar. It literally overtook the flavor of the doughnut. Secondly, unfortunately, the donuts were dry. Apple cider donuts are supposed to be soft, and moist in the middle, and they were just, well, dry in the middle. It definitely took away from the enjoyment of the doughnut. Other than that, , I liked the place. Thanks.

We ordered a blueberry pie and their cider donut bread pudding. The pie had a lattice top and was perfectly sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed it. They had the smallest blueberries in it and many were very much intact but not tart at all. Same for the bread pudding; my husband could tell that there was a fried component which made it super decadent, but it wasn't actually that sweet either! It was moist, nicely spiced with cinnamon, and the syrup that came with it enhanced everything. Color me impressed! I plan on visiting the farm and Market in person once it warms up and see everything else they have to offer. Once I do, I'll update this review.

Scotch Plains likely would point to its annual St. Bart's/UNICO Festival, but I'd argue the Farmer's Market is an even better calling card. The market, held every Saturday from spring to fall, is anchored by three farms that each sell fresh produce, priced similarly so you can choose your favorite on quality. Scattered throughout are other longtime favorites, including delicious order ahead empanadas and barrels of pickles. But along with those mainstays are a revolving cast of tasty treats and interesting stands - from craft beers and ciders to freshly-made pesto and baked goods. The market does get crowded around lunchtime, and with few tables available for sitting and snacking, it isn't somewhere to stop and eat. That said, there are a couple of nice restaurants in walking distance, so you can always grab a bite after getting your produce.

I was so excited to come in here for the $1 bonbon sale during Cranford's restaurant week. I got 50+ bonbons to have a chocolate tasting with my family, and give some away as birthday gifts. They were very tasty, high quality chocolates. For me, some of them were a bit too sweet- I guess I prefer dark chocolate and less sweet flavors- however they were really rich and saturated in flavor. My favorites were the Bourbon (real depth of flavor, dark smooth chocolate), and the Guava Passionfruit (tart). My kids liked the Peanut Butter and Jelly bonbons a lot, and Cookies and Creme. Really fun assortment, highly recommend coming in!

It's unfortunate that so many American farms are disappearing as urban development gradually…read moreencroaches on once peaceful suburban and rural areas. Because many people are removed from these changes, they often fail to recognize their significance. That's why supporting local farms like this one is crucial not only for the fresh and beautiful big (the honeycrisp apples are huge!) fruit but also to preserve the open land that nurtures pollinators and wildlife. Visiting a farm is a local treat and a unique experience. Some complain about prices without realizing the hard work involved, especially with New Jersey's short growing season and few local options. Compared to stores, the prices aren't that different. Yet they complain, then ironically leave in their luxury cars and expensive, record-high property taxed homes. I hoped to walk around the farm but that is understandably not allowed. Kids can be rough with the trees and crops (I even saw some throwing apples in an orchard) while their parents did nothing so boundaries are necessary to protect the farm. A few parents take it personally and get defensive when asked to supervise. The $10 tractor ride fee helps limit traffic, keep things organized and offset inevitable wear and tear. I skipped it but enjoyed shopping for rhubarb pie, enormous honeycrisp apples, dry soups and local honey. However I do sympathize with others who may have been scolded... it WOULD be helpful if there were a clear sign saying something like "Please do not enter the farm on foot. Tractor rides only. Ask staff for assistance." Put a sign up. A lot of customers seem to be getting miffed about that. Also the chickens looked much healthier than those I've seen on other farms. At many places, birds have significant feather loss caused by boredom, poor nutrition, or overcrowding but that wasn't the case here. Under the employee's supervision, the children were able to feed them and even brought out a surprisingly large, one-week-old chick for everyone to pet. You could really tell they care about their animals! I also appreciated the farm's 2nd Amendment sign, a respectful nod and reminder of important American values. This farm is a true slice of Americana and definitely worth a visit! Hurry before it disappears like so much has already.

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.

Lots of veggie and fruit vendors - be prepared, they charge more for local produce (higher than Whole Foods) although from what I could tell, very good quality (albeit not a lot of organic). Some food carts, too, will be back to try those! Lots of pets, too, watch the dogs underfoot.
