New Jersey, Mail Order Retailers and Rutgers Plant Sales
Selling Rutgers 250, Ramapo, Moreton and KC-146 Plants
2019 Season

Rutgers-sponsored Plant Sales and some retailers are provided for 2019. However, we are unable to include all the retailer information, Mail order sources are at the bottom of the listing. If you don’t see your local retailer listed – call and ask if they carry Rutgers 250 or Ramapo tomatoes. Small independent farm markets and garden centers are most likely to carry them, not chain stores.

New Jersey is listed first by counties; scroll down for Mail Order transplants.
