Join us for one of New Jersey's favorite summer traditions at the Rutgers Snyder Research & Extension Farm Open House and Tomato Tasting! Sample more than 50 varieties of Rutgers-grown tomatoes, taste new basil varieties, and discover specialty crops under research, including beach plums, hazelnuts, fiber hemp, and more.
Take a guided wagon tour to explore the farm and learn about innovative research, including agrivoltaics and drone-seeded cover crops. Meet Rutgers faculty, staff, and Master Gardener volunteers, get expert gardening advice, and enjoy family-friendly exhibits from Rutgers programs and partners.
Whether you're a gardener, foodie, farmer, or simply curious, this annual event is a fun way to experience New Jersey agriculture, learn something new, and enjoy fresh flavors you won't find in the grocery store.
