Bridgewater Farmer's Market Will Not Return For 2021

Vendors from the Bridgewater Farmer's Market will instead be part of Duke Farms' Market on Sundays in Hillsborough.

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The Bridgewater Farmer's Market will not be returning to the township in 2021. Instead, the vendors from the farmer's market will showcase their offerings at Duke Farms' Market on Sundays at Duke Estates in Hillsborough.

The organizers of the Bridgewater's Farmers Market, farmtastic_food_network, had previously announced earlier this year that by unifying efforts with Duke Farms they would have more support and community impact as well as create a larger more sustainable market series.

"In some lights what you are about to discover may trigger emotions of loss, but I assure you with our ability to adapt and evolve, the newness of what lies ahead will offer even greater opportunities for our community as a whole! The administration of our market will be combining efforts with the Duke Farms market. With the increased staffing power and resources of Dukes, we will be able to offer more than just awesome local food but also be able to better fulfill the dream of enviro-agricultural education and outreach to the community," stated farmtastic_food_network.
