Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• New Jersey Department of Agriculture Presents 'Farmer Recognition Award' (perishablenews.com) — Fairgrown Farm in Hopewell has been honored with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture's Farmer Recognition Farm to School Award, spotlighting its work connecting local students with fresh, locally grown food. The first-generation farm partners with dozens of regional farms and schools, emphasizing sustainable practices, agricultural education, and stronger farm-to-school relationships across Mercer County and beyond.
• Drought Warning Lifted as Heavy Rain Replenishes New Jersey Water Supplies (mercerme.com) — Hopewell Valley residents can finally breathe easier as state officials lift the drought warning, returning Hopewell Township, Hopewell Borough, and Pennington to normal water-supply status after months of concern. Recent heavy rains pushed Mercer County precipitation well above average, though the DEP still urges sensible conservation as some indicators, like streamflow, remain only moderately improved.
• Missing NJ's top rusher, Hopewell Valley football handed first loss by Seneca (trentonian.com) — Hopewell Valley's football team took its first loss of the season at Ackerson Field in Hopewell Township, falling 27-13 to Seneca while playing without star running back Ethan Valenza. Despite missed red-zone chances and Seneca's dominant quarterback play, coaches remain optimistic as Hopewell prepares to host Steinert and push toward an 8-1 regular season and strong playoff position.
