The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) is set to celebrate Jersey Fresh tomato season during National Farmers Market Week. On Monday, August 5, NJDA marketing staff will visit the shore towns of Wildwood, Atlantic City, and Seaside Heights. During these visits, they will 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," stated NJDA Secretary Ed Wengryn. He emphasized the versatility of the grape tomatoes being distributed, noting they can be consumed as a snack or used in various recipes and dishes. Wengryn also encouraged the public to purchase Jersey Fresh tomatoes and other produce throughout the growing season.
