Inland New Jersey farms escaped damage from a weekend Nor’easter that primarily affected coastal regions. Harvesting activities resumed across the state on Monday.
Why it matters
The storm stayed largely near the coast, sparing inland crops from the flooding and rough winds experienced in areas like Atlantic City. This allows for more stable supply levels through the upcoming holiday season.
Inland farms received over 2 inches of rain and experienced wind speeds between 20 and 30 miles per hour during the storm. Temperatures are forecasted to reach 80 degrees for the remainder of the week.

The details
While the Nor’easter caused coastal flooding in Atlantic City and New England, the inland soil successfully absorbed the rainfall. Farmers shifted focus back to harvesting hardier crops by Monday afternoon.
Timeline
September 26-27, 2026: The Nor’easter hit the East Coast.
September 28, 2026: The weather system pushed out of New Jersey.
September 29, 2026: Harvesting resumed on hardier items.
Seasonal Patterns
This event demonstrates how geographic positioning determines resilience against seasonal coastal storms, contrasting with the National Weather Service's coastal flooding threshold criteria. It marks a departure from broader storm impacts that often affect coastal and inland farming yields uniformly.
Residents should continue to monitor local weather alerts as temperatures rise to 80 degrees this week. While supply chains remain intact, consumers may see adjustments in commodity pricing due to broader coastal impacts.
The takeaway
Despite the coastal flooding, the inland resilience of the state's agriculture provides a buffer against significant shortages. Shoppers should anticipate steady supplies through the holiday season despite the recent storm.
