If you stand at the edge of Plainsboro, right at the point where you look north to see South Brunswick and east to see Cranbury, you will see rows and rows of waving corn standing tall and proud, just as they have for almost a century now. The Protinick family farm stand catches your eye as you drive into Plainsboro along Dey Road from the New Jersey Turnpike. This is the season that captures the height of the land’s bounty, and there at the Protinicks’ farm stand you will discover what helped define New Jersey as the Garden State: sweet corn, fat tomatoes, plump dark cherries, eggplant, squash, peach- es, and more.
