What Is Artisanal?

Three kinds of farms show what it takes to make it as small, selective, quality-focused operations that are environmentally—and economically—sustainable.

New Jersey also is home to a growing number of artisanal farms. We visited three and discovered that artisanal means—among other things— never having to say, “I think I’ll knock off early.” We found a commitment to quality, sustainability, craftmanship and an eye toward filling a unique market niche.
