Jersey Girl Cheese grown and made in the Garden State

Jersey girls may not pump their own gas, but when it comes to making great cheese, no other state is better.

Check out Jersey Girl Cheese Company where you're invited to come up to their farm at 2 Davis Road in Branchville and watch them make it. You'll even get to see the Jersey cows where it comes from!

Now you know how we feel about cheese in New Jersey and so does Jersey Girl Cheese.

"Our love of cheese, along with wanting to be able to keep our Jersey cows and dairy going, prompted us to create Jersey Girl Cheese,” the company says on its website. "We hope to create an experience you would only have if you were on a dairy farm in Southern Italy."

Jersey Girl Cheese has a cheese room and an aging cave right by its mining barn.

Because Jersey Girl Cheese produces their own milk, they are considered a farmstead.

According to their website, their cows graze on pastures and are also fed silage, hay and corn that is grown on the farm.

It looks to me like what Jersey girls lack in pumping gas, they make up for in producing cheese. Hopefully, that joke wasn't too cheesy ;) Then again, it's all about the cheese!

Best coffee shops & cafes near NJ beaches

When it comes to food, New Jersey is known for many things such as pizza and pork roll. Don't count us out when it comes to coffee.

With all the hustle and bustle involved in the average New Jersey resident's day, coffee is essential. It doesn't matter whether you're living in the cities of North Jersey or the vacation spots at the shore.

In fact, as the former owner of two Jersey shore coffee houses, Coffee Dot Comedy in Sea Isle City and the Daily Grind in Ocean Grove, I know firsthand how much people at the Jersey shore love their coffee.

With respect to that, I asked my social media following where the best coffee houses at the Jersey Shore were, especially since my two places no longer exist.

Below is what they came up with. (And see this other article for their coffee shop and cafe recommendations for Central Jersey.)
