Did you know you can experience goat yoga, learn about cheese making, and sample award-winning local wine all in the same region of Central New Jersey? The 579 Trail, a historic agricultural corridor running through Hunterdon County begins its peak season for visitors this month as Jersey harvests begin to yield fruits and vegetables and the summer weather leads to a bounty of outdoor recreational activities.

Weekly farmers markets offer locally grown produce, artisanal food, and beverages.

“Hunterdon has become New Jersey’s playground for foodies and those seeking to enjoy a scenic rural environment and all that it can offer in terms of food, entertainment, and outdoor activity,” said Hunterdon County Economic Development Director Marc Saluk. 

“Hunterdon County, one of New Jersey’s finest rural retreats, is a huge draw for individuals and families across the tri-state area, including New York City and Philadelphia,” remarked Hunterdon County Commissioner Matt Holt. 

He added, “We have a series of quaint towns lined with over 100 restaurants, bed and breakfasts, vineyards, historic bridges, and more. The 579 Trail is an exceptional way for visitors to experience this special place.”
