JERSEY-GROWN PEACHES CELEBRATED WITH 'PEACH PARTIES' ACROSS THE STATE Clayton, NJ (July 15, 2010) -- Since the 1600's, when peaches were first grown in New Jersey, the 'fairest fruit of summer' has been gaining fans. Yellow, white, flat "donut" and nectarines have been eaten raw, grilled, baked in pies and cobblers and preserved for the seasons without them through canning, freezing and turning into jellies. With consumers increasingly nutrition-conscious, peaches are seen as not only juicy and delicious, but also nutritious. A medium-size peach has only 35 calories, with 2.6 grams of fiber, 333 mg of potassium, antioxidants Vitamins A & C and other important vitamins and minerals. Now, Jersey-Fresh peaches are getting their just attention, celebrated with Peach Parties all over the state, at community farmers markets, on-farm markets, restaurants and supermarkets, starting in late July and running throughout August, officially proclaimed "Jersey Fresh Peach Month." Kicking off the Peach Party season, July 22-25, is the annual Peach Festival, held during the Gloucester County 4-H Fair. Following a 28-year tradition, last year's lovely Peach Queen will crown a new one, selected from several contestants in different age groups. Winners from each age group make up the queen's court, chosen on Friday evening July 23. Leading into the parade of lovely contestants, at 7 pm, will be the Secretary of Agriculture's awarding of the Governor's Cup for the best "box," selected from among the state's commercial peach growers and packers, judged by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Quality Grading Inspectors. Over the next two days will be the annual peach bake-off competition, Saturday, July 24th, and the Little Mister and Miss Peach Blossom Parade for kids, Sunday, July 25th. Let the Peach Parties Begin--variations on the Theme Each Peach Party will be slightly different at each community farmers market, styled by the creative efforts of the market managers. At every market will be Jersey Fresh Peach banners; peach recipe booklets, compiled from New Jersey's finest restaurants; brochures on the care and handling of peaches and more. Markets include Woodbury, Jamesburg, Hunterdon Land Trust, Flemington; Downtown Milburn, Salem Collingswood, Ramsey , Nutley, Bernardsville, Highland Park, Chester Community Presbyterian Church, Chatham Borough, Long Branch, West End; Toms River, Burlington, Denville and Morristown. Among the various special activities will be peach baking/cooking competitions with prizes, peach samplings, raffles for a basket of peaches, donated by attending growers. Participating restaurants will offer cooking demonstrations and tastings. For kids, there will be "Peach Quizzes," with prizes and other kids' activities, such as face painting, story telling (James and the Giant Peach is one story), coloring books and more.

Great topics. Keeps busy people who want to support local economy and do good things for the environment and themselves informed, when they might otherwise not have time to do the research on their own. I noticed you have posted a number topics about local wines. Have you thought about adding a LOCAL WINERIES category? N.J. wineries have a lot going on year round. Most wineries started out as farms, so many also offer local produce and home-made items. November is New Jersey Wine month. To kick it off at Hawk Haven Vineyard in Cape May County, we're hosting a new event in support of our EAT LOCAL, DRINK LOCAL campaign. Every Friday night starting November 6th, we will have a local restaurant present a three-course tapas style dinner paired with Hawk Haven wines and live local jazz music. A local trinity: food, wine and jazz! (You blogged about our event a few days ago, thanks!) Most wineries throughout N.J. will be participating in The Holiday Wine Trail Weekend, November 27-29. A great weekend to introduce yourself to our state's 30+ wine-makers! http://www.newjerseywines.com/news.html. Hi Lisa,

A local trinity: food, wine and jazz! (You blogged about our event a few days ago, thanks!)

Most wineries throughout N.J. will be participating in The Holiday Wine Trail Weekend, November 27-29. A great weekend to introduce yourself to our state’s 30+ wine-makers! http://www.newjerseywines.com/news.html.

One can't grow coffee or tea in NJ, but there are pretty good local substitutes for nearly everything else. May be able to help you track some things down, since we have an organic farm in Salem county and know quite a few farmers in the area. Would love to be listed, if you're open to that--we raise grassfed beef and lamb and a few other things. All the best-- Torrey Reade So pleased to see your site.

Email if you want to discuss. And for a great local mom-and-pop kind of butcher shop, you can't beat Ellis Meats in Mt. Laurel.

I know not everything on this list fits the locavore theme of the blog, but I love that there is a whole section devoted to our local produce and seafood. We certainly have a lot of good stuff around here. Pink – let me know if you’re ever coming down this way to check things out!
