Oak Grove Plantation is an historic farm dating back to the 1700’s in Hunterdon County, NJ. Ted and Susan Blew have owned the farm since 1977, and they turned it into a 160 acre organic farm. They have big plans for the farm, including adding more land, establishing an equine center and opening the farm to the public for important events like pumpkin picking.
Check out Oak Grove Plantation on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Union Square Greenmarket!
Now that the fall weather has definitely arrived, here are my Weekend Market Picks!

Gowanus Girls Indie Design and Food Market: This is a brand new market featuring almost 40 talented local women designers. This market runs for two weekends this month, and a portion of the proceeds go towards economic development initiatives along the Gowanus canal. You will find crafts, food, activities for kids and sangria! I’m so excited to go check it out! Noon – Sundown, Gowanus Grove, 400 Carroll Street, between Bond and Nevins, right on the Canal, Brooklyn
P.S. 175 Flea Market: P.S. 175 is holding its second of three flea markets in their schoolyard to raise funds for educational activities. Check it out and support our students! 9AM – 4PM, 135th St. between 7th & Lennox, Manhattan
