Certain plants are known for their strong scents, which may help deter mosquitoes when planted around patios, decks, and outdoor gathering areas. Popular choices include lavender, marigolds, basil, rosemary, and catnip. These plants can add beauty and fragrance to your landscape while helping create a more comfortable outdoor environment.
Many of these plants can also be used in the kitchen. Be sure to use fresh herbs like basil and rosemary in your favorite recipes.

One of my favorite seasonal vegetables is the artichoke, and they're in season right now! Artichokes are packed with fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients that support heart and digestive health.

Try steaming, roasting, or grilling artichokes for a delicious and healthy addition to your meals this season. Don't forget—you can find plenty of fresh, seasonal produce at the Cresskill Farmer's Market every Thursday!

Spending time at the farmers market is a simple way to enjoy the outdoors, get some fresh air, and connect with friends and neighbors.🌽🍓🥕

If healthy eating has been feeling complicated lately, this is your shortcut.

Start with what’s in season.

June is one of the best months for fresh produce…think berries, cherries, melons, and tomatoes that make meals easier, more flavorful, and often more affordable.
