Farmers Market

I LOVE the Farmers Market. So glad it is back again for the season. I recommend that all Hobokenites stop by at some point during your residency in Hoboken, you won’t be disappointed! Support your farmers.
There is a great variety of veggies and fruits — there are at least 3 stands that cater to this type of offering. There is a pickle stand too that had loads of pickles, olives, and other brined items (free samples too). There is a bread vendor on occasion though they do run out quite often and by the time the 9 – 5 crowd gets over there not much is left. And then there is Lima family farms which sells meats and eggs — excellent quality but also can run out of things after 5pm. I’d love to see something else, a bit more variety, though I certainly appreciate the offerings that are there.
The space is a little awkward but I am sure it works for the farmers because of the high traffic area.
Bring cash because most vendors prefer this method of payment. You’ll be sorry if you end up there without any in your pocket!

Outstanding fruit and vegetable market that travels to Washington Street from farm country every Tuesday. Set up alongside CVS, expect to see fresh kale, various lettuces, radishes, carrots, peppers, onions, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, etc etc on a weekly basis. The market also includes seasonal items, some bakery offerings and dill/​kosher pickles. I think it’s best to just show up and see what looks good that day. Visit soon, only a few weeks left as it wraps up right before Thanksgiving each year.

The produce selection is pretty awesome! Its right by my job but I always forget to go until after work, when I’m running to catch my train. Will have to be more diligent in the future, since there isn’t too much longer for it! Definitely stop by!

I look forward to my Tuesdays in the Summer/​Fall when I can swing by on my way home from the city. Pretty good variety of produce and so convenient if you take the PATH to work.
Corn, greens, and herbs are available basically as soon as it opens in June, but it’s best late in the summer/​early fall when there’s a dozen types of (heirloom) tomatoes, all kinds of squash, peppers, greens, onions, beets, squash, melons, stone fruit, apples, etc.
I think the nuts stand is the only place with protein (no eggs, beef, chicken, pork, fish), so that’s kinda weak, but you can get all that stuff at the other markets (Thursdays Uptown on Hudson St. and Saturdays on Garden btw 14 & 15), though I don’t think the produce selection is as good as downtown Tuesdays.
