Legislation aimed at boosting the sales of products made with Garden State produce has cleared another hurdle. The measure would designate baked goods and other food products prepared with homegrown fruit and vegetables as “Made With Jersey Fresh.” It also would encourage the state — as well as service areas along the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike and Atlantic City Expressway — to buy “Made With Jersey Fresh” products and promote them to customers. The bill was recently approved 74-0 by the Assembly and referred to the Senate’s Economic Growth Committee. But that panel has not yet scheduled a hearing on the measure. AP
