Savor Summer - tomatoes, corn, peaches and more.
Oh yeah, we tomatoed! It was a great day; several vendors reported record breaking sales. “We did the best we ever did,” said Melanie G., Co-Owner of Fluffy Farms in Egg Harbor City. “As a small farm, NOFA-NJ has been a lifeline, enabling us to achieve viability beyond our wildest dreams.” Drawing a mixed crowd of farmers, gardeners, families, foodies, and existing Walkingbird Farm customers, FESTOMATO is designed to promote local farms and food systems while highlighting tomatoes during peak season. Mark your calendars for next year - we are looking forward to doing it again! Thank you NOFA-NJ for making us a partner of this annual event. The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFA NJ) has supported and advocated for organic farming and local food systems in the Garden State since 1985.
