New Jersey farming began with Native Americans who grew corn, beans, and squash in the fertile river valleys. European settlers discovered that New Jersey's varied soil and climate were perfect for growing many different crops. The state became known as the Garden State because it could grow everything from blueberries in the sandy Pine Barrens to apples in the northern hills. Being close to big cities like New York and Philadelphia meant farmers could sell fresh produce quickly.
New Jersey has many different soil types and climates packed into a small state. The Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey have sandy, acidic soil perfect for blueberries and cranberries. Northern New Jersey has richer soil and cooler weather good for apples and vegetables. The state gets plenty of rain and has a long growing season from spring through fall.
New Jersey blueberries are some of the best in America, ready to pick from June through August in the Pine Barrens. You can pick peaches in summer when they're juicy and sweet from the warm New Jersey sun. Apples ripen in fall when northern New Jersey orchards produce many different varieties. The state also grows great tomatoes, sweet corn, and strawberries that are perfect for picking.
Summer and early fall are the best times to visit New Jersey farms when blueberries, peaches, and other crops are ripe. The weather is usually comfortable, though summer can be humid. Many farms are close to beaches and other attractions, so you can combine farm visits with other activities. New Jersey farms often have long histories and interesting stories about feeding nearby cities.
