Peach Pie Competition in Jersey City!

Yesterday, I received an email announcing a statewide peach pie contest! There will be competitions in south Jersey, central Jersey, and north Jersey with one of the competitions being held at our very own Riverview-FiskPark in Jersey City Heights at the weekly Riverview Farmers Market on Sunday, July 21st.  Winners will go on to present their pies on Good Day in New York or Pennsylvania and two grand prize winners will be chosen.

I am so excited about this – I love peaches, it’s a fun competition for the whole state to participate in, and we in Jersey City get to feature the event and enjoy it!  In addition to the competition and normal farmers market, there will be other fun peach-themed activities and events. This is being sponsored by the New JerseyPeach Promotion Council and the Market is organized by Farms in the Heights.  This is such a great community activity and so worth our support.
