In the agriculture industry, Maugeri Farms is well known for excellent products marketed under the name “Arrowhead Brand” and their produce is sought after by buyers of top quality vegetables. The Maugeri’s grow many different vegetable crops including: sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes (round and plum), cantaloupe, seedless and seeded watermelon varieties, zucchini, butternut squash, pickles, pumpkins and others. In their production systems they utilize conservation irrigation practices, crop rotations and follow the latest recommendations for efficient and multifaceted pest control methods to produce high quality crops. In 2007, they began a retail farm market and seasonal festivals to serve retail clientele in their community. This part of their business continues to grow through the combined leadership of their wives, Joanne and Karen. In their acceptance speeches, both Joe and Sam thanked their spouses and families for being so supportive throughout the years and recognized how demanding it is on their families when they are farming 24-7 during the production season.

Both Sam and Joe have given selfless contributions through service. Joe currently serves on the Woolwich Township Joint Land Use Board. Sam is a director of the Vegetable Growers Association of New Jersey representing Gloucester County, a director of the New Jersey Sweet Potato Council and a representative on the Rutgers NJAES Tomato Research Advisory Committee and the Rutgers NJAES Pepper Research Advisory Committee.
