A short history of Farmer Al's
Yes, there was a Farmer Al. He passed away in 2001 at the age of 88, after living most of his life in Monroe Township, NJ.
In 1924, Farmer Al came to Jamesburg, NJ with his parents, John and Rosalia Bohinski and 5 brothers and sisters. The family grew vegetables and raised dairy cows on the present site until the death of John Bohinski in the 1950's.
Alex, "Farmer Al" continued growing vegetables and began to raise flower plants on a small scale. His family got involved in the greenhouses in the 1970's and have carried on the tradition ever since. The greenhouse range has expanded but the family continues to offer the personal service and quality plants that Farmer Al extended to his customers when there was one, small lean-to greenhouse.
