This Is New Jersey: Celebrating the Jersey Peach

One of the nicest things about living in South Jersey is the wide array of summer food festivals that take place each summer. There are blueberry, strawberry, peach and cranberry festivals at churches, community centers and other venues. One of our favorite summer festivals is the Peach Festival hosted at the Mount Laurel Friends Meeting. This year, our friends Sue and Steve joined us in our pursuit of Jersey peach perfection. It is low key-there are no rides or craft vendors (although there is a booth where a brisk peach selling business occurs).
