Washington Valley Road, Pluckemin, NJ, 07920. "He only takes cash, it is a farm stand and green house, crops are organic, and he does sell eggs. . The farmer may only be specializing in tomatoes this year. But he is reasonable, and very hospitable. If you ask about other farms and such, he'll give you the answers you need. Last year he had tomatoes (the best around I may add!), squash, pumpkins, onions, red potatoes, plums, honey, peppers, hot peppers, home made hot sauce and jams! He uses reused cardboard boxes adn paper bags, never plastic! He grows all things organic and has been there for many years. It is a farm and he picks the goods.
