Many, many years ago, we use to stop at the local farm stands in New Jersey and buy tomatoes. These were the farm stands at the end of the driveway, next to the road, of the farm that actually grew the tomatoes they were selling. I ate many a tomato sandwich made with "Jersey" tomatoes as a kid. They were delicious. As I got older, my understanding is these were Rutgers tomatoes.

My parents are from Iowa, but I grew up in New Jersey due to my Dad's work. We lived in area with roadside stands, gardens, and farmer's markets. I found out recently that's also what my grandparents grew in their greenhouse. I'm looking forward to growing them this year.
