Friday, August 6, 2021: This was a longer trip to a farmers’ market in Middlesex County, New Jersey: Highland Park Farmers’ Market, 212 Raritan Ave., Highland Park (732-828-8444). Compared to Metuchen’s Farmers’ Market, it was larger with over 30 vendors, and many of these vendors sold other merchandise in addition to foods. One vendor offered a knife sharpening service, and others sold cosmetics, jewelry, books, and so forth. As for food, many vendors sold fresh, locally grown produce, baked goods, and meats, as well as dairy, packaged foods, and preserved foods. Overall, once I got to this market, I liked what I saw, but there was a big problem here: parking! Again compared to Metuchen, this was worse. There was limited street parking, and even though we arrived early, we still had to park a few very long blocks away. So I would advise anyone getting there to arrive early.
