The region's unique Pine Barrens ecosystem provides optimal conditions for blueberry growth, with over 50 farms supplying 80% of the state's blueberries. The town of fewer than 15,000 residents has a vibrant cultural element tied to blueberries, exemplified in its annual Red, White, & Blueberry Festival that features local music, contests, and community activities, showcasing the town's pride in its berry bounty.
"For a town with less than 15,000 people in its population, it's easy to see why Hammonton loves its blueberries. Much like the favorite fruit, Hammonton itself is small but mighty and makes a big impact."
"Hammonton's biggest claim to fame is an enthusiastic celebration of the humble blueberry, making it a prime destination for blueberry aficionados due to its unique ecosystem ideal for growth."
