It’s officially fall, which means it’s the season of colorful leaves, hoodies, boots, horror movies, pumpkin spice, and bonfires.

Dare I say, the best season of all?

It also means that it’s a great time for New Jersey farmers’ markets.

Fall is the perfect time to wander around with your hot apple cider to look at everything local vendors have to offer, whether you want baked goods, fruits, vegetables, crafts, or wine.

If you weren’t already aware of them, there are some great spots right here in the Garden State, apparently some of the best in the nation!

It’s one of those markets where neighbors swap recipes over late-summer tomatoes and early pumpkin finds — small-town simplicity with plenty of seasonal charm.

Walking around these markets will give you the charming feeling that you’re in an autumnal place like Stars Hollow (that’s for the Gilmore Girls fans reading this, but for the non-Gilmore fans — that’s a positive feeling).

Be sure to check out your nearby farmers’ markets this fall to support local Jersey businesses.
