2021 Farmer's Market Guide: Toms River to Brick to Bayville + Beyond

7 Days a Week to Buy local!

By Toms River Macaroni Kid June 4, 2021

It's farmers market time in Toms River, Brick, Bayville and the Barrier Island and we have a market in the area every day of the week! 

We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to visit a farmers market at the Jersey Shore

Here are three things to note before heading out to farmers markets:

  • Bring your own containers or bags to avoid any extra charges! 
  • Bring cash as some  farmer market stands  don't take credit cards.
  • Some farmer markets might have rules or requests in place due to COVID. Please check their websites or social media sites before heading out!

Here are the details on Ocean County farmers markets:
