Jayson Williams may be getting the freshest, local produce available in New Jersey while he serves his sentence for aggravated assault in the death of a limo driver.
TMZ reports that the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Wrightstown, New Jersey participates in the Jersey Fresh program, meaning if Williams eats the colorful parts of his plate, he’ll consume locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Developed in 1983, the Jersey Fresh program was designed to help farmers advertise their locally grown items to residents of the state, according to the State of New Jersey Department of Agriculture website.
Initially a radio advertising program, methods of disseminating the news has spread to billboards, television and print ads reminding consumers to support their local farmers.
Now that’s a can’t-get-it-out-of-your-head jingle worth remembering.
