🍇 Blueberries, Data Centers, and Hammonton's Future | Jersey Oddcast Ep. 79 🍇
This week on the Jersey Oddcast, we welcome Matt Macrie of Macrie Brothers Blueberry Farm, a third-generation blueberry grower whose family has helped shape Hammonton's identity as the Blueberry Capital of the World. Matt takes us behind the scenes of modern blueberry farming, discussing this year's crop, the impact of the spring freeze, labor challenges, technology, succession planning, and what it takes to keep a family farm thriving across generations.
Before the interview, we break down the latest Hammonton Town Council meeting, including discussion surrounding data centers, Route 54 infrastructure projects, budget concerns, and ongoing debate about the future character of the community.
We also discuss:
🔹 Hammonton's plans for America's 250th anniversary celebration
🔹 The history of New Jersey's famous 201 area code
🔹 The upcoming He-Man movie and Star Trek timeline book
🔹 Love Island, nostalgia, and pop culture
🔹 A spirited Odd Poll asking what giant roadside statue Hammonton should build
Plus:
📅 Rocco's Town House Community Calendar

Whether you're a blueberry enthusiast, a local history buff, or just love South Jersey, this episode has a little something for everyone.
With Joseph F. Berenato, Gabriel J. Donio, and Gina Rullo
