As soon as the NJ turnpike was built straight through the garden strip, farmers have wondered weather to sell their farms to corporate industries, or to continue their hard labor as farmers.

Farming started in the Garden Strip along the Delaware river in the 1640's by Swedish settlers. English settlers found the land and called it "a land of milk and honey." Tales were told of 1,000 pound hogs and 2,000 pound cattle.  The Garden Strip became a tomato growing place in the 1900's. As the years went by fewer crops were planted and prices rose, so farming started to end.
