TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey organic growers reaped $26.2 million in sales in 2019, according to Bruce Eklund, state statistician of the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), New Jersey Field Office. The Organic Survey of certified farms found considerable growth compared to the 2016 Certified Organic Survey. Vegetables were the leading sector in sales and acres with $12.7 million on 1,083 acres. In 2016, farmers sold $5.42 million of vegetables on 424 acres.
