One especially cool thing about Warren County, NJ:
cornfields. I myself have fond memories of cornfields, from my childhood spent
in Monmouth County, NJ. Back in those days and in that part of
the state, a lot of the roads and neighborhoods we know of today were simply
not there. Instead it was just rows and rows of endless, glorious cornfields,
waving majestically in the sun. Now those cornfields are long gone. The kids of today don't remember the farms that once thrived in Monmouth County, circa 1979. But I will.
Luckily, here in Warren
County, you get to time-travel
backwards, to a place where cornfields still exist in this state (because
around here, they still do!). It's surely a nice thing, to be driving along a
country road, with corn to the left and corn to the right... or to
step out your back door and be surrounded by nothing but corn, sweet corn!
Yes... Warren
County loves corn. We
have a lot of it. You can get some delicious white or golden ears of corn at
Shoprite, or at your favorite farmstand. We can thank the laws that have
preserved the farms in this part of NJ – the NJ Skylands, as they call it. It
might mean less commerce, less jobs, and less money, but who cares? We have
CORN. :)
