I went!!!

It was delicious!! around 85 different varieties of heirloom and hybrid tomatoes to taste along with apple and peach types to try as well.

They also offered tractor rides around the farm to show what they are doing in regards to tomato, apple and peach growing.

They have a tomato growing area that has nothing but original Rutgers Tomatoes growing from seeds from the 1950's they have obtained from their seed vault.

The call their project "The Jersey Tomato ".
I purchased a Rutgers Jersey Tomato t-shirt which is really cool!!
Attached is a photo of me taken at the entrance to the event.

Overall it was a fantastic experience.
