Join our 400+ members who support our mission to preserve and enhance agriculture in the Garden State!
The New Jersey Agricultural Society is the oldest agricultural organization of its type in the nation. Established in 1781, its mission is to preserve and enhance agriculture, farming and related activities and businesses in New Jersey through educational, informational, and promotional programs. 

Our Programs

Farmers Against Hunger collects on average 1.2 million pounds of fresh produce annually from farms, groceries and wholesalers annually and distributes to over 70 community organizations serving those in need.

Learning Through Gardening provides materials, including raised beds, tools, soil and plants to schools to establish school gardens. LTG also provides training to teachers to conduct hands-on lessons focusing on math, science and literature using the gardens as a classroom. 

The NJ Agricultural Leadership Development Program is a two-year program that provides personal and professional skills training to agriculturalists who will continue as leaders in the agricultural industry.
