"Their modest vegetable and berry farm grew to become one of the largest agricultural enterprises in New Jersey. Beginning with Arthur P. Seabrook’s introduction of irrigation to Cumberland County in 1907, and continuing with his son Charles F. Seabrook’s application of Henry Ford’s factory methods to vegetable production, the company brought science and mechanization to raising premium fresh produce for markets in Philadelphia and New York. Known as 'truck farming,' it has long been an important part of the Garden State’s historical identity."
