Inspired by the father of medicine #Hippocrates who said “Let #food be your #medicine, and medicine be your food!”, and frustrated by the food that loses most of its nutritional value after being in the cold chain for so long, we decided to start growing fresh, nutritious #vegetables, #greens and fruits locally in our farm in New Jersey serving NJ, PA, NY, DE, MD and nearby areas.

Farm-stand

Over the course of the last 6 years, and having met many other local farmers, we realized that we can’t grow everything ourselves but we must focus on growing some items and source some others from other sources including local farms and or local markets.

While we grow many varieties of produce, there are some things that simply cannot be grown in this USDA zone and hence we had to source them from elsewhere such as Mangoes, Jack fruit, Guava etc.

Some of the things we offer are the following:

Gongura

Our Gongura (Kenaf/Roselle) is some of the finest fresh Gongura available in the tristate area serving New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

Gongura is an Indian leafy green plant, of type Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) or Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), grown for its edible leaves.

Telugu people are familiar with many varieties of food made with Gongura such as Gongura Chicken, Gongura Mutton curry. In addition, Gongura pacchadi is quintessentially Telugu cuisine along with pacchadi (chutney or relish).

Gongura is a very rich source of iron, vitamins, folic acid and anti-oxidants essential for human nutrition. Learn more about the 12 benefits of Gongura Leaves

Moringa

Moringa is a plant native to Asia and Africa commonly referred to as drumstick plant as the pods of these trees look like drum sticks. While the pods are edible and the seeds are used for oil extraction, the most important part of the Moringa plant is actually the leaves. Moringa leaves are considered by many to be a super food given the rick nutrients these leaves possess.

Fruit Trees

TIKSmart Farms has a wide variety of fruit trees suitable for this climate including many varieties of apple, peaches, plums, cherries, parsimmons, berries, and more.

Hayrides

Hayrides is a long held American farm tradition. We started offering hayrides at our farm couple of years ago and we quickly learned how much fun it was for the whole family, especially the kids.

Many games and kid friendly activities, as well as picnic tables to have snacks or brunch you bring from home are available so no one gets bored at the farm.

Birthday Packages

Our birthday packages are only $199.00 and include free hayride. You bring your own food, and clean up after you..
