Honey Market · September 27, 2031 · Morristown, New Jersey
Morristown — the Morris County seat that served as George Washington's winter headquarters twice during the Revolutionary War, surrounded by the preserved farmland and forested ridges of the Morris County park system and Morristown National Historical Park where black locust, tulip poplar, buckwheat, and native meadow wildflower produce some of northern New Jersey's most historically significant honey from landscapes unchanged since colonial beekeeping — is home to one of New Jersey's most distinguished beekeeping communities that maintains hives in the very orchards and meadows that sustained Continental Army encampments in the 18th century. This September market on the Morristown Green celebrates Morris County's extraordinary beekeeping heritage connecting colonial agricultural history with contemporary artisan honey production, featuring producers from across the Morris, Hunterdon, and Somerset County highlands, competitive honey judging with an emphasis on the region's distinctive black locust and tulip poplar mono-varietal honeys, educational tours of the colonial-era beekeeping practices documented in the Morristown NHP archives, demonstrations on traditional skep and box hive management, and culinary programs pairing New Jersey Highlands honey with the state's exceptional farmstead cheese, apple brandy, and market garden traditions.
