Farmers Markets Near Rockaway Borough and Rockaway Township

Looking for a farmers market in Rockaway NJ? Here is the short answer: neither Rockaway Borough nor Rockaway Township runs a public farmers market of its own. The good news is that several of Morris County’s best markets are a short drive away, starting next door in Denville, and a few year-round farm stands sit close to town.

This guide lists only markets and farm stands we confirmed on official market, town, farm or state sources. Days and hours below are the published 2026 schedules where available. Markets skip dates, close for weather and change seasons, so check before you go using the link for each one.

Does Rockaway have its own farmers market?

• Rockaway Borough: We found no public farmers market on the Borough’s website or on current county and state market listings.
• Rockaway Township: We found no public Township farmers market on the Township’s website or on current county and state market listings. The private Green Pond lake community in the Township has hosted a Friday farmers market behind the Green Pond Community House at 5 Dawson Drive, but the farm that runs it lists it as for Green Pond residents only, so it is not open to the public.

For local fall outings, Rockaway Townsquare hosts food events such as Foodees Fest, but that is a food festival, not a farmers market. See our things to do in Rockaway NJ guide for more ideas close to home.

Farm stands near Rockaway NJ

Farm stands keep longer hours than weekly markets, which makes them handy on weekdays. Hours change with the season, so call or check online first.

• Union Hill Farms, Denville: roadside farmstand at 25 Cooper Road, 973-366-0440. Its site lists the stand as open daily, Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in season. Union Hill also sells at the Denville and Morristown markets. unionhillfarms.com

• Sun High Orchards, Randolph: a farm market and orchard at 19 Canfield Avenue, listed on the New Jersey WIC farmers market list. We found no weekly town farmers market in Randolph on current listings, so Sun High is the Randolph stop. Our apple and cider season story has more nearby orchards.

Tips for market day

• Bring reusable bags and some cash. Payment options vary by vendor.
• Go early for the best selection, and later for end-of-day deals.
• Many New Jersey markets and farm stands take WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks and SNAP at participating vendors. The state’s Find Jersey Fresh directory lets you search markets and farms that accept them.
• Collect stamps at participating farms with the Morris County Farm Trail Passport.
