Our History

Cicconi Farms has been part of Jackson, New Jersey for more than 60 years. It all started in the 1960s with Al and Joan Cicconi, a lot of hard work, and a love of growing things. Back then, farming looked quite a bit different than it does today. Much of the work was done by hand, perennials were grown out in the fields, and the farm also produced annuals and fresh vegetables. Like most family farms, everybody pitched in. Joan handled the books and office work while helping raise the family, and their son Albert grew up working around the farm. After college, Albert came back full-time in 1989 and eventually took on more of the day-to-day operation. Over the years, the farm changed a lot. We moved from growing perennials in the field to growing in containers, built more greenhouses, added equipment and expanded the varieties we grow. What started as a small family farm slowly became the Cicconi Farms you see today. But in a lot of ways, not much has changed at all.

We’re still a family business. We still get our hands dirty. We still believe in growing good plants, treating people fairly and taking care of the customers who keep coming back year after year. Today we grow a wide selection of perennials, ornamental grasses, ferns and native plants for landscapers, garden centers, municipalities and homeowners throughout the area. We also grow plenty of seasonal favorites and are always trying something new.

We certainly couldn’t have planned all of that back in the 1960s. What we’re most proud of isn’t how big the farm has gotten or how much we’ve accomplished. It’s simply that after all these years, Cicconi Farms is still here, still family run, and still growing. We’ve been fortunate to have some great employees along the way and generations of customers who have supported us. Some have been doing business with us for decades, and we’ve watched their families and businesses grow right alongside ours. For that, we’re very thankful. From our family to yours, thanks for supporting Cicconi Farms.
