The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) will spotlight Jersey Fresh tomato season during National Farmers Market Week on Monday, August 5. Special visits are planned to the shore towns of Wildwood, Atlantic City, and Seaside Heights. NJDA marketing staff will be present to distribute free Jersey Fresh grape tomatoes to beachgoers.
“New Jersey’s reputation for its great tasting tomatoes is well-earned and they have a flavor that is unmatched,” said NJDA Secretary Ed Wengryn. “The grape tomatoes we will be distributing can be eaten immediately as a snack or used in a variety of recipes and dishes. We encourage everyone to purchase Jersey Fresh tomatoes and other Jersey Fresh produce throughout the growing season.”
