It’s the Super Bowl of eating. And preparation is key. Before making that shopping list, check out these South Jersey shops to round out your Thanksgiving table.
Outsource your turkey
Don’t feel like spending your entire day bent over the oven basting a turkey every half an hour? Henri’s Hotts BBQ has you covered, and you have two options to choose from: smoked or fried. Each 18-20 lb turkey comes with a quart of gravy.
Better bread
Plain old rolls are so last year. Head to Blair Mountain Biscuit Co. for a dozen of their biscuits – cheddar or vegan – that will have everyone’s mouths watering at the table. Plus, you can grab some blossom butter (honey and sumac) for an extra touch.
Farm fresh
The best way to do farm-to-table is by heading straight to the farm. Johnson’s Corner Farm’s market offers plenty of farm fresh produce for your dinner, as well as a bakery with sweet and delectable desserts, from pumpkin pies to apple cider donuts, to finish off dinner.
Cheers to local
Whether it’s white or red wines, Amalthea Cellars is packing nearly 50 years of history and winemaking expertise into each bottle. The award-winning vineyard offers dry and semi-dry wines, sparkling, rosés and sweet wines, so you can find exactly what each guest needs to cheers the holiday season.
Make dessert fun
Dipping isn’t just for appetizers – Downtown Cookies’ dippers trays serves cookie strips with your choice of icing for guests to dip their dessert. Choose your sprinkles color and icing flavor, then let the compliments come rolling in.
Have anything that’s vegan?

(Don’t) do it yourself
