About the Portal
New Jersey has a long and rich agricultural history. In the nation’s most densely populated state, New Jersey farming happens in and around large cities and suburban communities, and our agricultural practices take many forms. The Rutgers Office of Urban Extension and Engagement is working with community partners to identify significant urban agricultural sites across the state, share information, resources, and aid urban growers across New Jersey. Be sure to check out helpful Resources links, learn from other Farmers Sharing Knowledge, and try out the interactive Urban Ag Maps.
Feel free to suggest how this page can be made more useful to the NJ urban ag community.
