New Jersey’s Trusted Farmers Market & Pop-Up Event Organizer

Where Local Businesses and Communities Come Together.

Hi, I'm Jenn Perkel, founder of HEAR HERE, LLC, a woman-owned farmers market and event management company based in New Jersey.

After 32 years as a music educator, I traded lesson plans for vendor applications, event maps, marketing plans, and a whole lot of tents! In July 2021, I started Hear Here with a simple idea: create great markets that bring communities together while giving local farmers, food vendors, makers, artists, and small businesses meaningful opportunities to grow.

What began as a passion for supporting local entrepreneurship has grown into a market and event management company producing more than 200 farmers markets, pop-up markets, artisan markets, and community events annually throughout New Jersey, with a strong presence in Monmouth County and the surrounding communities.

From weekly farmers markets to seasonal pop-ups and special community events, Hear Here provides comprehensive event management services, handling everything from vendor recruitment and curation to logistics, marketing, permits, insurance, and on-site management.

I don't just fill spaces. I build markets.

Bringing Communities Together

At Hear Here, we believe local businesses are the heart of every community. Behind every farm, bakery, handmade product, and small business is a person who has invested their time, talent, and heart into building something of their own.

We're passionate about creating opportunities for those businesses to be seen, connect with new customers, and grow.

Our markets are more than a collection of tents and tables. They're neighborhood gathering places where farmers meet shoppers, makers share their craft, families discover something new, and communities come together to support the people who make their towns special.

We believe a successful market should be welcoming, well-organized, professionally promoted, and, most importantly, worth coming back to.

Transforming Communities Through Local Entrepreneurship

Creating Opportunities for Small Businesses

We provide local farmers, food producers, artisans, makers, and small businesses with a platform to showcase their products, build relationships with customers, and grow their businesses. Every market is an opportunity to celebrate local talent and support the entrepreneurial spirit.

Professional Market Management

From vendor recruitment and thoughtful curation to scheduling, logistics, marketing, and day-of coordination, we take care of the details that bring a market to life. Our goal is to create a seamless, organized experience for vendors, municipalities, and customers alike.

Connecting Vendors and Communities

Our markets create connections that go beyond market day. We bring together local businesses, residents, municipalities, and community partners to create engaging experiences that encourage shopping local, strengthen relationships, and make communities thrive.

Making Local Matter

We believe shopping local should be an experience. Through thoughtfully curated farmers markets, artisan markets, pop-ups, and special events, we create opportunities for people to discover local businesses, support their neighbors, and experience the best of their own communities.

A Hands-On Approach to Every Market

I work closely with municipalities, businesses, organizations, and community partners to create markets that reflect the needs and character of each community.

And because Hear Here is a hands-on business, when you hire me, you get me.

I know your event, your vendors, your goals, and your community. I'm personally invested in making every market a success. From the initial planning stages to the final tent coming down, I take pride in creating events that are organized, engaging, and memorable.

Whether it's a weekly farmers market, a seasonal artisan market, or a special community event, my commitment remains the same:

Support local businesses. Bring communities together. Create markets worth coming back to.

That's Hear Here. And I'd love to help bring your next market to life.

At Hear Here, we're proud to create opportunities for local businesses, strengthen community connections, and make local markets an experience worth returning to.

Let's make local happen.

We were so honored to have John Elliott and CBS Channel 2 visit Colonial Nursery for Small Business Saturday!
Thank you for shining a spotlight on our incredible small businesses and the hardworking makers who show up for our community. What an amazing way to celebrate shopping small!

(Their producer happened to catch one of my ads about a pop up on SBS at the nursery and once they saw how beautiful the venue was… that sealed the deal! They rushed down here 😁)
