COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The New Brunswick Community Farmer’s Market is one example of how we foster and maintain ties to the communities in which we live and operate. Yvette Jackson, Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator, USDA Food & Nutrition Service helped kick off the 2009 farmer’s market which brought together New Jersey farmers, Rutgers University, Johnson & Johnson and the City of New Brunswick to offer fresh produce and promote healthy eating.
