Family-Owned Farm & Winery in Glassboro, NJ
Summit City Farms has been a family-owned vertically integrated agribusiness since 1922, rooted in the Glassboro, New Jersey community. Our 500-acre working farm specializes in cultivating premium peaches, nectarines, and apples, which we supply wholesale under the Jersey Fruit label. We expanded into winemaking in 2014, producing over 30 varieties of wines using fruits harvested on-site. Our Ravelli Wood Fired Food Service, launched in 2025, offers specialty flatbreads and pizzas to complement our wines. We host weekly live music events, private wine pairings, and seasonal celebrations in a welcoming environment that fosters community connection. With four generations of agricultural expertise, we combine tradition with innovation to deliver quality products and experiences. Our farm operations are managed by Lewis DeEugenio Jr. and Leila DeEugenio, who continue the legacy established by Italian immigrants Gaetano and Pasqueta DeEugenio.We prioritize sustainable practices and direct engagement with customers through retail sales, wholesale distribution, and on-site events. Our historic Chestnut Ridge location serves as both a production hub and a gathering space, reflecting our commitment to preserving local heritage while meeting modern needs. This dual focus on agriculture and hospitality defines our approach to serving the New Jersey region.
