(TRENTON) – New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher visited roadside farm stands in four South Jersey counties to highlight where consumers can find Jersey Fresh produce during this prime time of the growing season.
“We are in the height of our growing season and roadside farm markets around the state are carrying a full array of Jersey Fresh produce,” said Secretary Fisher. “Many of these markets are run by families who have been farming in New Jersey for generations. We encourage everyone to visit these markets to get the freshest Jersey Fresh produce and support our farming community.”
Secretary Fisher’s stops included:
New Jersey has a wide variety of roadside markets in almost every county of the state. These markets sell the produce they grow on their own farms, as well as produce and other products from nearby farms. Many also accept WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers and SNAP EBT cards. Call ahead to get more information.
