    List of Local Farmers’ Markets

    Living at the Jersey Shore means you benefit from the farmers’ markets that provide you with locally grown produce, so you can take it from farm to table.  Nothing beats a Jersey tomato, whether you enjoy it in a sandwich or use it to make your very own signature sauce.  Here is a simple recipe…roast plum tomatoes in the oven or BBQ for approximately 30 minutes on 400 degrees.  Turn the oven off and let the tomatoes sit in the warm oven for another 20 minutes.  Remove the skin and place the roasted tomatoes in a bowl with chopped garlic, fresh basil, hot pepper flakes, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.  Now you have a fresh sauce for pasta or homemade pizza.  Check out these farmers’ markets in Monmouth County and get your locally grown veggies and herbs:

  • Open House Schedule for Sunday (7/21)

    Open House Schedule for Sunday (7/21)

    One way to beat the heat this weekend is to do some house hunting at the Jersey Shore.  According to Realtor.com, there are many benefits to attending an open house.  First, buyers have an opportunity to realistically see what they can afford in the housing market.  Second, you will have the opportunity to ask your real estate related questions to a licensed realtor.  Third, you will be able to drive through the neighborhood or perhaps walk the community to see if it feels like home.  Finally, you will learn more about your needs with regard to amenities once you actually preview homes.  For instance, after visiting several single family homes, you may decide you actually prefer a townhome, where maintenance such as lawn-care and snow removal is included.  Now that I’ve convinced you to attend a few open houses this weekend, here are some tips on etiquette.  You may be asked to remove your shoes or wear shoe guards, which should be provided by the agent.  Avoid bringing pets and be sure not to leave them in the car in this dangerous heat.  Leave the pets home with plenty of ice in their water dish.  Be sure to follow the “sign-in” instructions and introduce yourself to the realtor.  If other perspective buyers are present, respect their privacy and give them some space.  Here is a list of Open Houses scheduled for this Sunday (7/21)…have fun!
