My favorite season is upon us! Farmer’s market season!! *does the running man* I am so sick of scrambling to get fresh healthy food or ordering takeout and I can’t wait to shop local this season. Every year the HDSID Farmer’s Market gets better and better with new vendors and food options and I can’t wait to feed my family with whole foods and treats. Summer body here we come.
Rachel Sieg, the Executive Director of the Historic Downtown Special Improvement District is the woman and bad ass behind the market and also behind everything awesome going on downtown. Read more here. I wanted to give her a warm shoutout because she is awesome for everything that she does and we need to appreciate all her hard work!!! (she did not pay me to say this fyi).

Hoboken Farms
I called up Brad from Hoboken Farms who’s been with the Farmer’s Market for almost eight years! He is a real OG.
Jersey City Fish Stand
I had the honor of intervewing JC Fish Stand a few months ago for a post. They got their start at the HDSID Farmer’s market last year and now have their own shop on Jersey Ave which is in the HDSID district. They have amazing fresh locally sourced fish at great prices!
Are you still going to be in the farmers markets?
Jill: Yeah, once that starts back up. It’s a good way to reach more people and just be supporting local events, knowing what’s going on, and getting our name out there even more.

We sell homegrown and local produce at the farmers market along with jams, jellies, honey, homegrown beef and pork, local milk and cheese, frozen raviolis, frozen pot pies and other artisinal products. In the spring we also sell potted flowers, herbs and Christmas season decorations. Our homegrown produce is grown all naturally and we use sustainable growing practices.
