New Jersey is called the garden state. It was named way back when New Jersey was full of farmland. Slowly but surely the farmlands have been decreasing. Along Rt. 40 headed towards Delaware there were lots of farms. There still are some but not as many as there were.
It used to be you’d need a gps tracking device to find a house along that road. Now farms have been sold off and houses are being built in places where cows and horses roamed. Cars, people, children and family pets now reside where corn, wheat and vegetables grew.
Just to prove that there are still some farms in NJ here is a picture we took in November 2007 on our way to Texas.
