The Garden State
New Jersey promotes its outstanding agricultural industry through its Jersey Fresh campaign. Jersey Fresh fruits and vegetables must pass a grading program to ensure they are the highest quality.
While most people associate agriculture with our nation's heartland, New Jersey is home to more than 9,900 farms covering 750,000 acres of farmland. The state is among the leaders in many forms of agricultural production. For example, New Jersey ranks: 5th in blueberry production, 3rd in cranberry production, 3rd in spinach, 3rd in bell peppers, 3rd in peach production and 8th in tomato production. The state also produces an abundance of corn, apples, strawberries, potatoes, hay, soybeans and nursery stock.
