Dearborn Market Orchid Show

Dearborn Farms and Market has been around since 1925. It’s a great store with a small farm behind it in Holmdel, NJ. In 2015 it was purchased by the owners of the Shoprite chain but despite that Dearborn has kept its character and amazing foods and bakery. The bakery in particular makes amazing pies and bread! Dearborn also has a great garden shop and every year they host a fabulous Orchid Show. At the show both commercial and amateur orchid growers are judged for the plants, but you can also buy quite a number of orchids and other plants and flowers. This Throwback Thursday I’m sharing some photos from this year’s Orchid Show and in case you’re wondering, yes, I did buy an orchid (a $20 special!). This orchid is already throwing out blooms unlike my other purchase many years ago which only rarely blooms. As soon as the flowers are open, I’ll share some photos with you!
