America’s Grow-a-Row owns and operates four farms in Hunterdon County totaling over 423 acres that are part of New Jersey’s Farmland Preservation Program. We are committed to being good stewards of the land and use sustainable farming practices that promote soil health, conserve water, and minimize chemical use on our farms.

Produce Varieties
We grow 15+ varieties of fruits and vegetables each season and are committed to keeping our farmland healthy and productive.
After we harvest our main crops, we plant cover crops to keep the soil covered, reduce erosion, and help hold moisture in the ground.
We use drip irrigation and plastic mulch to conserve as much water as possible.
We implement no-till practices to preserve soil health.
We utilize leaf compost from local municipalities to improve soil health.
In 2021, we implemented a bee pollination program utilizing 10 hives with a total of 100,000 bees to boost the production of our apple trees. In the first year, yields were up 115%. We now have 30 hives and at the peak of production we have 3M bees. This augments our sustainable farming practices as we are yielding more produce from the same acreage.
30 Hives
3 Million Bees
It’s’ not enough to grow the food: half the battle is getting it there. We use an advanced distribution setup in order to distribute the freshest produce to 29 states.
From childhood through adulthood, we are educating Americans from all walks of life about the importance of nutrition, the prevalence of hunger, and what they can do to make a difference.
