jeff, but don’t tell anyone! They’ll all want to move here! Nothing to see, folks. Just keep driving! *runs off with the pizza, bagels, corn, and tomatoes *

It certainly does ! My home state has plenty of gardens and farmland. We also have our beautiful Pine Barrens, impressive mountain areas, lovely lakes and our gorgeous shore. Much more to Jersey than the factories & highways Hollywood always depicts.

I'm a New Yorker but love the Jersey shore, many wonderful family memories there, BUT you don't have the best pizza. That is NY turf! Joe's in Time Square for one.

Player #44464446, Jersey Cows, Jersey Corn, Jersey Tomatoes, Jersey fruit recently choices is the Blueberries. Jersey is still open land, and lots of it farm. Find a local farm to buy directly. Farmer's markets everywhere are a racket now. You are buying the same produce as the supermarkets at a higher price.

Once upon a time. But not anymore. I’m from NJ and I remember coming up my grandparents would take my sister and I to the Apple orchards In middlesex county but they’ve been replaced with Walmart’s and warehouses. There are still places that you can see farmland and such but not like it use to.
