S 1888 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Department of Agriculture to take various actions to publicize and promote community supported agriculture in New Jersey.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to promote community supported agriculture (CSA) programs. Within 180 days, the department must create a public website listing all CSA programs with searchable farm locations and subscription links, run statewide marketing campaigns through media and signage highlighting CSA benefits, and develop special labels for CSA products that clearly identify them as such. It also establishes an annual "Community Supported Agriculture Week" in February with events in schools, farms, and community spaces to showcase CSA's value. The bill directly affects New Jersey farmers participating in CSAs, consumers seeking local farm products, and the Department of Agriculture, which must implement these promotional activities using existing "Jersey Fresh" program funding mechanisms.
