Get Fresh at Jersey Farm Stands
With more than 9,900 farms covering over 750,000 acres of farmland, Jersey has endless unique farm stands to choose from. At some locations, you can even pick your own produce and turn “eating your veggies” into an experience for the whole family. It’s called agritourism, but we call it amazing.
