The location of the popular farmers’ market in downtown Toms River will change for the upcoming season, officials said.
After several years occupying a parking lot near the township’s post office – and, before that, Huddy Park – the market will move to the grassy area in back of the Ocean County parking garage, along Hadley Avenue, east of the garage entrance.
The change was made to avoid patrons of the market having to occupy paid parking spaces in the direct downtown area. Parking in the county garage, next to the administration building off Hooper Avenue, is free. The farmers’ market will run every Wednesday between May 24 and Nov. 15, with a special Thanksgiving market on Nov. 20.
The market will run 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until November, when it will close at 4 p.m.
The market offers:
- Fruits,
- Vegetables,
- Plants & Herbs
- Fresh baked goods,
- Honey,
- Ravioli,
- Crab cakes,
- Pickles & olives,
- Nuts and candy
- Olive oils and salts,
- Cream Ridge Winery,
- Hot dogs, pulled pork
- Italian specialties
- Smoothie truck
- Delicious Devil Brownies.
- Coffee,
- Spice Mixes,
- Specialty Soaps
