 Dear Patron of New Jersey Produce,

New Jersey Farm Bureau first introduced  "A Directory of New Jersey Produce Growers" in 1994 and immediately expanded in 1995.  It has proved to be a useful tool for sourcing fresh Jersey produce. Users have included volume buyers for retail sales, restaurants, farmers, institutions as well as small specialty shops and homeowners.

In an amazingly short number of years, Internet access has become commonplace.  Marketing product on-line is no longer an innovation but a necessity.  Among the many advantages of on-line listings is the ability for farmers to update their data on an as-needed basis.  Additional farms can be added whenever a farmer chooses to participate.

New Jersey Farm Bureau is happy to be able to make this service available at no cost to either the farmers listing their products or the customers that want to buy.  The site is attractive and intended to be easy to use.  It is a sincere attempt to link together the supply with the demand.  If you, as a farmer, are not included but would like to be, return to the home page, and click on "Application." Follow the directions that appear with the application form.   

With all sincerity, we hope you will find this website useful and informative.  While all information was gathered in good faith, New Jersey Farm Bureau makes no guarantee as to the quality or supply available from growers.  All sales resulting from the use of this directory are the responsibility of the grower and the purchaser.  If you have comments or questions, please contact Sharon Besack at the Farmhouse.

To you the user of this site, our thanks for your support and interest in
New Jersey's produce industry.

 

Sincerely,

Richard E. Nieuwenhuis

President
