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 about Farm Bureau’s produce
directory, 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
