The 2026 South Jersey Fall Guide is almost here! 🍂 Slower mornings, football on in the background, the first PSL from Cocoboni’s Cafe, and convincing yourself it’s sweater weather the second the temperature drops below 75. I’m already planning to get apple cider donuts from Duffield’s Farm Market in Sewell, hit up as many Fall festivals as possible and go pumpkin picking at Johnson’s Corner Farm in Medford - I’m looking for every excuse to spend a slow Fall afternoon around South Jersey!

You already know which one. If you want even more local picks for the rest of the season, my free 2026 South Jersey Summer Guide is out now.

The truth about living in South Jersey 🤫 People hear “South Jersey” and picture the turnpike, a rest stop, and whatever they saw driving through toward Atlantic City one time in 2009. Here’s what doesn’t show up in a quick Google search: You can hit a farm stand in Mullica Hill in the morning, be in Philly by lunch, and be standing on the Ocean City boardwalk by dinner. That’s a 45 minute radius, not a road trip. The towns still feel like towns. Pitman has a bookstore where they remember what you’re reading. The Collingswood farmers market is a full social event. In Washington Township, the neighbors are actually neighbors. And the food is not a joke. Water ice in July, a real cheesesteak any day of the week, and more good coffee than a suburb has any right to have. Every place has its quirks. Ours just happen to be the reason we stay. What’s one thing about living here you’d never give up? 👇 I’m @askagentnikki, your Washington Township local and REALTOR®.
