Join me as I explore one of New Jersey's most unique hidden gems...St. Michael's Farm Preserve in Hopewell, NJ.

We'll walk the scenic trails and experience The Awakening, the incredible 70-foot monumental sculpture by renowned artist J. Seward Johnson that appears to show a giant emerging from the earth. I'll also share the fascinating history of the former St. Michael's Orphanage, which once stood on this land before it became a preserved open space for nature and public recreation.

After our visit, we're heading to Terhune Orchards in Princeton, New Jersey, to enjoy one of the Garden State's favorite family farms, known for its fresh produce, baked goods, and beautiful countryside.

We'll finish the day with a stop at Joe's Pizza in Hillsborough, NJ, for some awesome slices!
