Terrie Carr here and I had such great feedback from everyone on my first 5 Shop Local picks that I decided to include 5 more places I love to frequent!
Also let me stress that great products, service and overall vibe always helps decide my choices of where to spend my time and my funds!
I think you will find these local choices unique, community minded and proud of what they do and what they bring to their consumers. Shop Local- and invest in the future!

Just Jersey - South Street - Morristown
I’m a Jersey Girl- Born, Raised, Taught and LOYAL! When I first shopped at Just Jersey I was in heaven. Made Local, Shop Local, their Morristown store has great picks for your home, fantastic jewelry including their NJ Pendant necklaces (a bunch of us at WDHA have and wear them….very Jersey sisterhood!) A “Down The Shore” collection, Jersey eats and much more. They even have beach badge tag necklaces oh and don’t forget great Jersey items for your bar and cocktail hour too. One of my favorite places in the state!
Just Jersey- Local Goods from The Garden State!Cerbo's Parsippany Greenhouse and Garden Center - Littleton Road in Parsippany
Established in 1913, I LOVE Cerbos because of the quality of their nursery items and their incredible locally grown produce, jarred goods, cheeses and amazing commitment to Community Supported Agriculture. Parsippany’s oldest business, Cerbo’s is a true GEM in the community. Fall is coming. Don’t forget to get your mums, pumpkins, fall must haves and their December Trees For Troops Christmas event is truly inspirational.
