New Jersey is The Garden State.

New Jersey is the home of Hammonton blueberries. Hammonton is known as the Blueberry Capital of The World.

New Jersey is also the home of the finest corn and tomatoes to be found anywhere in the United States of America.

I just had my first Jersey corn of summer, 2024. It was so sweet and delicious that it didn’t even require butter.

Here’s my dinner from a few nights ago:

Note: The corn above was actually much whiter than it appears in the photo.

I also had my first Jersey tomato of summer, 2024. There is nothing that compares to a Jersey tomato. The flavor is just amazing.

Here are the ingredients for a perfect New Jersey Sandwich:
