Make the Most of Your Weekend in South Jersey

Get Away, Close to Home!

This weekend is also a great time to support New Jersey’s agricultural community. Following Governor Mikie Sherrill’s declaration of a State of Emergency for farmers due to ongoing challenges facing the industry, residents are encouraged to shop local and support the farms, wineries, and small agricultural businesses that help drive our regional economy. Stop by a farmers market, visit a roadside farm stand, pick up fresh produce from a local grower, or spend an afternoon at one of South Jersey’s wineries, every purchase helps sustain local agriculture and preserve New Jersey’s farming heritage.
