🔦Local Business Spotlight

Two River Dairy & Market: This home-based delivery service of farm fresh goods like glass bottle milk, eggs, dairy products, meats, and produce also has a charming little storefront in downtown Manasquan. You can come check out their selection first before signing up, and purchase a few things to take home and try. We picked up a bag of their freshly roasted coffee and a chicken pot pie from Griggstown Farm outside of Princeton, NJ. Both are perfect for warming up from the early winter chill!

Pro Tip: Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, so stock up on some NJ-made goodies to round out your table, or pre-order a pie today!
