Long-standing farms and plenty of recreation
In the bucolic farmlands of central New Jersey, Plumsted offers a laidback lifestyle with local farms near ample recreation. “Plumsted has that hometown feel many people seek out,” says AnnaMarie Comforte, a Broker Associate with Keller Williams Premier Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. The township was formed shortly after 1700 by English Quakers as a farming community with small villages. The area has retained its rural nature and many of the long-standing farms are still owned by their original families. The southern half of Plumsted is occupied by Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, the largest military base in the state.
Plumsted is home to scenic equestrian farms and riding trails.

Pick-your-own farms, fishing and stunning views
“There’s a lot to do here,” Comforte says. “People enjoy the you-pick farms, wineries, parks and fishing ponds.” Jumping Brook Preserve's hiking trails are popular for catching sight of local wildlife and taking in stunning views of the marshes and reeds. The preserve also offers opportunities for fishing, hunting and kayaking. In the northwest corner of town, Plumsted Recreation Park offers baseball and softball diamonds, a basketball court and a playground. Locals flock to New Egypt Speedway on Saturdays for dirt races, car shows and demolition derbies. Horseback riding is another common pastime, with local farms and riding schools like Handy Acres Farm offering trail rides for all ages.

Important to Know
In the 1940s, a practice known as midnight dumping, where hazardous materials are spilled into open pits or buried in drums, was rampant in Plumsted and continued over the next few decades. The Environmental Protection Agency designated five Superfund sites in the community in the 1990s. Cleanup efforts began immediately, and four of these sites have been removed from their watchlist. The last remaining Superfund site, Goose Farm, is still being monitored by the EPA, with the agency continuing to release reports on the site every five years. The latest report from 2023 states that their past actions to prevent groundwater contamination in the area remain intact, and the agency will continue to remove pollutants from the soil and release updates every five years.
