Have you visited a local farmers' market lately?

There's no better time to explore the incredible abundance our local farms have to offer. From sweet strawberries and crisp greens to fresh herbs, flowers, and seasonal vegetables, farmers' markets are filled with flavors that simply taste better when they're picked at their peak.

Supporting local farmers means bringing home fresher food, strengthening our community, and celebrating the seasons one delicious bite at a time.

This weekend, skip the grocery store and take a stroll through a local market. You might just discover your new favorite ingredient.

What's your favorite farmers market find this time of year?

Strawberry season is one of the sweetest times of the year in Hunterdon County. Right now, our local farms are bursting with sun-ripened berries that are juicy, fragrant, and full of flavor that simply can't be matched any other time of year.

Whether you enjoy them fresh from the field, layered into shortcake, tossed into a salad, baked into a crisp, blended into smoothies, or paired with local cheeses, strawberries are a delicious reminder to savor what's in season.

At Bex, we're always inspired by the incredible ingredients grown right here in our community, and local strawberries are among our favorites. Their season is short, so now is the time to visit your local farm stand and stock up.

Nothing tastes quite like a New Jersey strawberry picked at its peak. 🍓
