Farmers Market Guide from Point to Long Branch {Updated}

Buy local!

By Macaroni Kid Point Pleasant May 12, 2021

It's farmers market time in at the Jersey Shore! Monmouth and Ocean County have so many farm markets for your to choose from that we put together a list to help keep track of which markets are which days.

We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to visit the farmers market together.

Here are four things to note before heading out to farmers markets:

  • Pick-your-own farms can sometimes change hours on short notice dependent on weather, produce availability, and other factors. It's best to call ahead to make sure pick-your-own is available that day. Prices can also change from day to day.
  • Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges! 
  • Bring cash as some farmer market stands and pick-your-own farms don't take credit cards.
  • Some farmer markets  might have rules or requests in place due to COVID. Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!

Here are the details on Jersey Shore farmers markets. Check back as we will be updating over the next month.
