There is nothing like Jersey corn, their tomatoes and peaches and Jenny Lind Cantaloupes which I have not had in many, many years.

I'm salivating!

Not like in Ohio, having them walk to the field and pick it for you individually.

Since then, we've lived in North Jersey (3 years) and Michigan (25 years). I was disappointed in Jersey tomatoes, and one can get good corn in Michigan, but it has to be a planned event, and local knowledge is a must. Still, it isn't as good a Ohio's. But again, I grew up on Ohio corn.

Oh, and Michigan tomatoes--meh.

Sorry, but I should have been more clear.
My references were to SOUTH Jersey, which is tantamount to a separate state within New Jersey.

And if you never had any of this produce, please don't say that some other is the best.
