🥇 Tomorrow’s the day! 🥇

The Back Road Ramble returns to Screamin' Hill Brewery tomorrow, and we can’t wait to see everyone take on the legendary .05K relay race — all 41 feet of it! 😎

Attached is a sneak peek at this year’s winners’ medals… and of course, the real prize: bragging rights. 🏆

Don’t have a team of four? No problem — arrive by 9:00 AM and teams will be formed at check-in. Participants receive sunglasses, swag, farm-fresh beer, and a guaranteed good time.

There’ll be food, live music from The Successful Failures, plenty of laughs, and one of the most entertaining races you’ll ever witness, all while supporting Farmers Against Hunger and America's Grow-a-Row.

🥬🌱 BDO USA was back in the fields today as part of their Week of Service, helping glean fresh produce at Giamarese Farm!

This hardworking crew harvested 144 pounds of peas and lettuce that will now help feed families across New Jersey. A big thank you to BDO for volunteering their time and to Jim Giamarese for once again opening his farm and supporting the mission of Farmers Against Hunger.

Fresh food rescued, families fed, and zero waste. 💚

NJALDP Class XIII hit the road last week for Seminar 5: Marketing & Aquaculture! 🌊🚜

From the coast to South Jersey’s farms, nurseries, greenhouses, and food businesses, the class spent three days getting an up-close look at the many industries that make New Jersey agriculture so unique. Along the way, participants explored everything from marine research and seafood processing to agricultural marketing and food innovation.

The seminar also marked the halfway point of the class’s two-year NJALDP journey!!

Yesterday was a great day in the garden!

With help from our volunteers, we were able to get all of the plants donated by Rancocas Creek Farm into the ground. We also celebrated our first harvest of the season with fresh radishes from the garden!

These photos show us installing hoops and protective netting to help keep our young plants safe as they grow. Every step brings us closer to a productive season and more fresh produce for our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to lend a hand and to Rancocas Creek Farm for their continued support of our garden. 🌱🥕🍅
