 About Maugeri Farms In 1922 Salvatore "Sam" Maugeri came to America along
with his wife Alfia from Catania, Sicily. Others from their homeland had
settled in the Swedesboro\Woolwich Twp. area. They worked long hours in
the summers picking crops in the fields as farm laborers, eventually
becoming sharecroppers with another established farmer. |
| |
Finally, they had
saved enough money to buy their own farm and in 1928 they settled on a
beautiful farm nestled on the banks of the Oldmans Creek and Maugeri Farms
was born. Salvatore farmed successfully for many years and his son Joe
took over the operation.
With the help of his wife ,Anna, Joe built a
prosperous business, purchasing another farm on Oldmans Creek Road where
he and Anna lived, worked, and raised their family. The new location
became the main center of farming operations. Other land was leased for
additional production. Eventually, the torch was passed and the next
generation took over. |

Today, Maugeri Farms LLC is run by Sam and Joe Jr.
These third generation growers have taken the operation to new heights.
The Maugeri brothers cultivate over 600 acres in and around the Oldmans
Creek area.
They continue to sell their produce to wholesale distributors
and markets, as well as supplying many of the roadside markets from
Pennsylvania, to the Jersey Shore, to far North Jersey.

The rich soils of
the Oldmans Creek basin have long been known for producing the sweetest
and most flavorful produce in the area.
In 2007 a new venture was started with "Harvest Days". For the first time in 80 years Maugeri Farms
was open to the public for hayrides, pumpkin picking and other fall
festivities. This year a retail produce stand will sell farm fresh fruits
and vegetables directly to the consumer.
From it's humble beginnings, through three generations and 8 decades of
family farming, one overriding principle has been the cornerstone of the
company's success. An unwavering commitment to providing our customers
with the absolute freshest, and highest quality produce available. We
bring that same dedication to our new ventures and will continue to hold
ourselves to those high standards in the future.
