Take a family trip to this wonderful family-operated farm. Famous for its Jersey peaches, Cedarvale Farm and the Gaventas are sure to inspire a renewed sense of pride and appreciation for South Jersey's fabulous family farms.

The Gaventas are working to develop and harvest a new peach, dubbed "Gloria." The family will start planting these new peach trees in 2009.

Cedarvale Farm is part of the consortium of Greensgrow Farms' urban agricultural project. Although Greensgrow is not accepting new volunteers or interns at this time, you can always contact local family farms to see if seasonal help is needed.

Lending support to Greensgrow and Cedarvale Farm is easy! The best way to establish a solid future for family farming in New Jersey is to spread the word. Share information about Cedarvale Farm with five friends who you think would be interested in our work and encourage them to visit.

And of course, BUY LOCAL!

Cedarvale Farm hasn’t been producing Jersey Fresh produce since 1905 for just any old reason.  Three generations of Gaventas have poured their hearts and souls into keeping this 200 acre fruit and vegetable farm cultivatable.  So if you visit, please do your part by respecting the grounds and not leaving any trash. Help Cedarvale remain open for another hundred years!
