Ag Advisory Committee
The Upper Pittsgrove Township Agriculture Advisory Committee was established to administer the Municipal Planning Incentive Grant (PIG) Program. This is one of several farmland preservation programs available to landowners and is primarily oriented for smaller, in-fill farms. The Committee meets as needed at the Upper Pittsgrove Municipal Building.

Farmland Preservation
The Township settled on the following farms in 2023 for a total
of ninety acres:

Robert Dickinson—26 acres
Kessel’s Nursery (1)—23 acres
Kessel’s Nursery (2)—19 acres
James Valentine—22 acres

Because of these preservations, the Township now has a total of 12,067 acres in preserved farmland, the most in any township in New Jersey.

For any landowners interested in knowing more about farmland preservation or for help in submitting an application, contact Chairman Jack Cimprich at 856-358-2763.

Benefits of Preservation
Upper Pittsgrove continues to be number one out of 565 municipalities in the State for farmland preservation. And, because of our success, we have lower taxes, less traffic and pollution, and plenty of open space for recreation and a quality of life other towns can only envy.
