Duke Farms Market To Celebrate 'Growing Week' On Sunday

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ —The Duke Farms Market will host its "Growing Week" celebration this Sunday and there will be vegetable and plant giveaways to mark the occasion.

The first 150 customers to stop by the Duke Farms Welcome Tent will receive their choice of a tomato, cucumber or pepper plant, according to Facebook. Additionally, a few native plants from the Duke Farms Native Nursery also will be given away.

The weekly farm to table market takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays at Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West in Hillsborough. The market had its opening day on May 2, and it is scheduled to run until December 5.
