CSA Week 17

Posted on August 15th, 2020 by Trish Cirelli

When we think about Jersey Fresh produce, we think of Jersey tomatoes and Sweet Corn, and maybe even blueberries... But did you know- the Garden State is the No. 1 producer of eggplant in the US?!? New Jersey wins the first spot by a HUGE margin too- Jersey grows 849 acres of eggplants, compared to No. 2 California’s 144 acres. Amazing right??  Here at Alstede Farms, we farm over 600 acres, and we have about 4 acres of eggplant this season!
