In January of 2022, the New Jersey legislature did what few states have done, passing a law defining what local means regarding New Jersey fruits and vegetables. In the Garden State, if a retailer labels fresh produce as local, locally grown or implies that it is local using similar language, that product must have been grown in New Jersey. New Jersey consumers can now shop for produce and when they see local, they will know where it was grown.
