JG Akerboom Nurseries 🌲 Strong Roots 🌳

Almost 100 years ago, Jacobus Geradus Akerboom brought his passion for Horticulture to Bridgeton, NJ from his native Netherlands and J.G. Akerboom was born.  Jacobus's daughter Rachel Elizabeth Sherman, and her husband James E., took over the operations in the mid-60's and moved to the current location in Cedarville, until their sons, John and Brian Sherman took over in the early 1990's. Meg kicks off The Bridgeton Beacon's series on the importance of the agricultural industry to Cumberland County by chatting with Brian about the history of J.G. Akerboom and their transition to one of the premier "Liner" producers of 1 and 2 year old seedlings, fully rooted cutting transplants and potted grafted liners when they recognized a market need for high-quality Liners.  Today, they ship their product all over the country. www.akerboom.com 🌳 Join local conversations with the "beacons' of Bridgeton, New Jersey at https://bridgetonbeacon.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8VBp2FMg5KKl5irPJc02YzacOkzURgnK Podcast clips on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/NichePodcastClipstagram  Podcast clips on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8VBp2FMg5KKBobI3Thlvw2XVWUHciiOM  Produced by the Niche Podcast Network: https://nichepodcastnetwork.com  FB: https://www.facebook.com/bridgetonbeacon Music credits: License as defined in the Pixabay Terms of Service available at https://http://pixabay.com/service/terms/ Licensor's Username:  http://pixabay.com/users/gvidon-25326719/ Licensee: LegalPodcasting   Audio File Title: On The Way Home Audio File URL: http://pixabay.com/music/future-bass-on-the-way-home-15507/ Audio File ID: 15507  Date of download: 2022-03-25 22:22:04 UTC
