Agriculture in New Jersey
It is a rare New Jersey resident who has not savored the taste of locally-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs. Stroll down to the local farm market and just try to ignore the ruby red tomatoes anxious to be caressed, the fresh herbs awaiting to be sniffed, the sweet corn boasting their bronze tassels, or the plump peaches begging to be squeezed, all waiting to be taken home with you. Farm market customers often find freshly baked breads and deserts in addition to fresh produce. The frequent farm market visit also provides an opportunity to swap family recipes and experiment with new produce varieties. For the home gardener to the professional landscaper, numerous varieties of plants, shrubs, flowers, vines, and trees are available from Cumberland County’s nursery/greenhouse markets. Everyone’s preferences can be accommodated and gardening tips can be obtained. Nurseries are required by New Jersey law to control injurious insects and plant diseases. Plant dealers must agree to purchase stock only from certified nursery sources. The nursery and landscape industry remains the leading sector of the agricultural industry in New Jersey.
