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!
