No matter what day it is (Black Friday, Cyber Monday...) or what your preferred shopping method (online, brick & mortar...), we ask you to remember one thing this holiday season: Shop Local!

Independent small businesses, farms, farmers' markets, restaurants, wineries, gourmet shops, breweries and other entrepreneurs are the backbone of NJ's local economies. These are the individuals who add to the flavor and vibrancy of life in the Garden State. They are also the first to help the community in times of need, whether it's providing food to local food relief centers or sponsoring your kids' sport teams. And the holiday season is often the make-or-break time for the health and longevity of their business.

This holiday season spend your holiday shopping and entertaining dollars where they will have the biggest impact. Shop Local! Here's our 2024 Holiday Food & Gift Guide, packed full with 8-pages of delicious eating, drinking, entertaining and gift-giving ideas. Click the link below for a browse!
