Farmer’s Markets are opening this month throughout Bergen County. From early June through late October these fresh produce markets come to many towns in Bergen County. They bring delicious farm fresh produce, cheese, and baked goods. Home made pies, fresh baked hearty breads, canned vegetables, bottled honey and, of course, all sorts of fresh vegetables and fruits come streaming in to Bergen County every week direct from the farm. 
In fact, they’re so popular that some local fresh food stores find themselves there too. For example at the Teaneck market you’ll find The Mortgage Apple Cake lady.
Demand is up sharply for these seasonal markets,. As a result, opportunities to find them have increased. Many towns find ways to extend their season because of increased demand.
River Vale solves their demand issues with indoor facilities for the colder months. Because organic food is so important, people go to farmer’s market for this. They offer a good number of organic produce and products from what I’ve seen. If you’ve only been to commercial markets you really owe it to yourself to stop by and buy yourself some really fresh food.

We had fresh food stands all over Bergen County years ago because we had many small farms. It wasn’t all that long ago. Because land values are so high and profit margins so low, local farms have pretty much disappeared. As a result, the only place to get fresh produce is at a farmer’s market. You support small family farms by shopping at these markets. It’s fun and you get to enjoy what you find there!
