Willow Creek Winery supports and joins its affiliate, the NJ Farmers Cooperative (NJFC), in challenging the NJDEP Flood Zone Proposal and well water meter mandates.
The NJFC recently released a statement that it is “actively protesting the proposal, claiming it threatens to compromise the livelihoods of the state’s agricultural communities and local businesses. NJ Farmers Cooperative believes the flood zone proposal, which would require property owners to raise their constructions 5 feet above existing federal flood elevation levels, is rooted in unfounded data and represents an overreach of governmental authority.” Adding, “The flood zone proposal is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg, and residents may soon find themselves required to install meters on their water wells. Since January 2024, Willow Creek Winery also has been inundated with requests from NJDEP to install water meters and register for allocations related to farm irrigation and restaurant operations.” Read the entire statement HERE.
NJ Farmers Cooperative invites local farmers and community members to unite in advocacy against these burdensome proposals. To join the movement, please contact Gladys McKinney at gladys@willowcreekwinery.com.
On Saturday, November 9 – Monday, November 11 at the Veterans Weekend Celebration co-hosted by Willow Creek Winery and the NJFC, the Willow Creek Winery service and events team will be wearing shirts to note its protest.

Now, since we’re all friends here we are going to let you in on a little secret — September might be the best month in Cape May. Us locals enjoy this month as our “summer” (don’t forget technically summer lasts until September 21), and we are keeping the good vibes good at the winery with live music through the end of the month.
Performances are on the Vineyard Bar patio (weather permitting) where seating is first come first serve.
For the month of September we will continue to offer lunch and dinner daily in our Tasting Room to pair with our wines, and our Vineyard Bar will be open from Thursdays – Sundays. Please keep an eye on our socials as it’s also wedding season and we have private events on some weekends that require us to close early (early closures are 4pm, with last seatings at 2:15pm). Make your reservations today.
