Eat Slow Winter Farmers Markets

The slow food movement, for those unfamiliar with it, is in many ways the antithesis of the fast food movement. Slow food fights back against the industrialization and homogenization that has been taking over the worlds food cultures. It emphasizes sustainability, biodiversity, and the support of local food. To visit their international site head on over to Slow Food.

On Tuesday, November 24th, Slow Foods New Jersey will team up with the Rutgers Gardens Farmers Market. The winter farmers market will take place from 4pm to 8pm at the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture and will feature the following vendors:

Cherry Grove Farm
Ducky Life Tea
ER & Sons
Krowicki
Simply Nics Shortbread
Stefan & Sons
Stony Brook Orchids
Valley Shepherd Creamery
Village Bakery
Woodland Produce
Woods Edge Wool Farm

These winter markets continue all the way through the season, so check back with central Jersey's Slow Food site for dates and locations. If you're elsewhere in the state or country, search for your own winter markets! There is still delicious, locally grown produce available during the colder months, not to mention baked goods and other sustainable products.

There will also be winter markets the last two weekends of November in Stockton, NJ. To view a larger version of the flyer for these two locations, click on the picture below:
