Moving to Princeton

Fall in Princeton has to be one of our favorite seasons.  The beautiful colors and the clean, crisp air make it the perfect time to get out and discover the area’s fabulous farmers’ markets.  But where do you start?  Well, it just so happens that our friend and colleague, Kim Rizk, just published a fantastic guide book on farmers markets.  It is full of all the information you need:  Essentials like where to find local produce, meats, poultry, cheese, wine and what’s in season in Central New Jersey.  When we pressed her for her favorite markets, she hemmed and hawed, saying things like, “That’s so unfair!” and “My favorite thing of all is checking them all out!”  Lucky for us, it’s in her book!  Her top three choices are: The West Windsor Farmers Market (Saturday morning), Trenton Farmers Market (Tuesday – Sunday, weekends only during the winter), and Terhune Orchards.  She also really likes Gravity Hill Farm because it has some of the most beautiful and unusual produce around and Griggstown Farm Market for all of their great prepared food and free-range poultry.  For more information about her book “Farm Markets of Centra New Jersey” check out Kim’s blog at http://www.gcaprincetonlocavores.blogspot.com/ or email her at farmmarketscnj@gmail.com.  Happy Shopping!  Sig & Syl

We can’t believe summer is almost over! Princeton is starting to come to life again as folks trickle back into town and gear up for the upcoming school year. If you are new to the area  make sure you check out Princeton University’s athletic site and get your tickets for the upcoming season.  We have had more fun attending  various athletic events throughout the year and wouldn’t want you to miss out! Ice hockey, lacrosse, basketball, field hockey, soccer, football and crew, to name just a few!  One of our favorites is heading over to Lake Carnegie to watch the rowers regattas. Princeton is a beautiful place and the fall is an exciting time.  We hope you will take advantage and please feel free to email us with any questions. The real estate market is revving up again as well. Stay tuned for the some interesting facts in the weeks to come! Cheers! Sig and Syl
