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
