Farm-Fresh Goodness

Jim Penza, son, brother, cousin, pop-pop, friend, and most importantly, our dad, passed in September of 2023.

In the 1970s when his Grandpop Rizzotte's fulfilling farming life was just about at an end, it was decided that the Penza's would farm the Western Side of 206's farm land (and so the newly wedded couple, Jimmy and Judy, could build a house).  It was in this time that the Red Barn, originally situated on the other side of 206 from where it is now, was 'moved' across the road, and the packing house and cooler was added on.  Dad would go on to start farming fruits and vegetables, including Peaches, Apples, Cucumbers, Peppers, Tomatoes, Pumpkins, Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash, you name it!  Might as just well say it was everything but Blueberries.  Well Dad, here's to you, and we'll keep the tradition alive with a new and inventive crop that Hammonton didn't know it needed.
