How a small plot of land for a few animals turned into a family owned and operated farm.

You could say Snoep Winkel Farm started out as a 4-H project. Although at the time the owners were simply looking to enroll their children in a wholesome activity. Unlike most who fall for a couple of cute baby bunnies and some fuzzy chicks, the family wound up with a whole stable of farm animals. The Van Boerums harbored no secret desires to become farmers, but the more they and their sons learned about conventional industry methods of raising cattle through the 4-H Club the more they realized they wanted to eat healthier, naturally produced meat. So they sold their home in a suburban New Jersey development and found an eight-acre piece of property out in rural Sussex County. It was a bold move given they had no prior experience farming…

Stony Hill Gardens and Farm Market has been in business for 25 years, but owner Carol Davis’s love affair with farm life started long before that. For a kid born and raised – at least the early part of her life – in Newark, N.J., Davis had country in her blood. As a young child Davis and her siblings would spend every summer at her uncle’s farm in Pennsylvania, and that’s where her heart remained. Those experiences, Davis said, “made me love farming.” When the kids returned home to Newark, Davis said she and her siblings would lobby their father for a farm. In 1966 when Davis was nine-years-old, her father finally agreed, and the family moved to a farm with 50 acres of land in Chester, N.J., where Stony Hill Gardens sits today. Back …

Hoboken Farms may have neither produce nor farmland, but it is a veteran of the farmers market scene. Playing with irony, owner Brad Finkel combined the name of his hometown, where most of his products come from, with “farm” for the markets where he sold them, and he had a name for his business, which he started nearly 20 years ago in another ironic circumstance. Finkel was working as a gourmet foods distributor back then when one of his customers asked him to join a farmers market. Although Finkel didn’t know what a farmers market was, he agreed anyway. Now, two decades later he has cornered the farmers market market, working 30 a year. Hoboken Farms sells fresh mozzarella, artisan bread, and aged beef, as well as fish and chicken entrees…
