Hammonton is proudly known as the "Blueberry Capital of the World," producing roughly 80% of New Jersey's blueberry crop thanks to the sandy, acidic soil of the surrounding Pine Barrens. The town celebrates its agricultural identity every June with the Red, White and Blueberry Festival, and is home to Tomasello Winery, the oldest continuously operating winery in New Jersey. Beyond its agricultural roots, Hammonton offers a genuine small-town Main Street, strong Italian-American heritage reflected in its Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel tradition, and a setting roughly midway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. For buyers drawn to a distinctive small-town identity with real agricultural character, Hammonton offers something few other South Jersey towns can match.
