Because the southern portion of the state once produced a large share of the tomatoes, eggplants and green vegetables for the major cities on the east coast.

Because farming was and still is a major industry. During Colonial times, New Jersey was described as having the finest farmland of any of the 13 colonies.
Don't believe everything you hear about NJ. It has its problems like every place else but most of the state is rural and very beautiful.

NJ is in the USA's top 5 in: blueberry, cranberry and eggplant production and I'm sure there is more to the list. The NJ Tomato is, by far, the best in the nation. Not bad for the 3rd smallest state and the only urban state in the USA. 40% of the Garden State is forest and farmland.
