The annual Youth Fishing Derby will take place on June 3 at Dallenbach Lake, 380 Dunhams Corner Road in East Brunswick. Plan to park at the Crystal Springs Parking Lot.

You can enjoy fresh produce you pick yourself, available May through September at Giamarese Farm and Orchards. June’s offerings include asparagus, strawberries, peas, and lettuce.
While you’re grabbing whatever happens to be in season, don’t forget to stop in the store. We love the fresh salsa, jams, and pickled veggies.
