The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) plans to spotlight Jersey Fresh peaches on National Eat A Peach Day, Thursday, August 22. The department will organize special visits to shore towns such as Wildwood, Atlantic City, and Seaside Heights. NJDA marketing staff will distribute free Jersey Fresh peaches to beachgoers in celebration of National Peach Month.
“Not only is August National Peach Month, but Thursday the 22nd is National Eat a Peach Day and we make it easy for shore residents and visitors to take advantage of this promotional distribution,” NJDA Secretary Ed Wengryn said. “If you can’t hit one of our Jersey Shore tasting sites, sweet and juicy ‘Jersey Fresh’ peaches are available now at your favorite retailers and farm markets or better yet visit one of our pick-your-own farms found at www.FindJerseyFresh.com.”
