Under our Website Resources section, you can find an article in the last back issue of Gardener News - New Jersey is Garden State Fresh. I don’t have a vegetable garden like many gardener friends do. I wish I did!

But we have the availability of delicious locally grown produce here in our state.

The Jersey Fresh Logo was designed in 1984 to inform consumers what produce is grown here. In the late 1980’s TV ads started, and local carts displayed in supermarkets, trade shows, and other spots the produce to spread the word. New Jersey was the model for other states to promote their agricultural products. There are 9893 farms in New Jersey (734,000 acres!) N.J. grows more than 100 varieties of fruit, vegs, and herbs. Tomatoes, peaches, peppers, and squash are delicious! Sit, cool down, and enjoy the fresh produce. ?
