Summit City Farms & Winery of Union City

Summit City Farms & Winery of Union City is a winery in Union City, New Jersey, operating on 500 acres of farmland in the historic Chestnut Ridge section of Glassboro. Founded in 1922 as Boulevard Orchards by Italian immigrants Gaetano and Pasqueta DeEugenio, the family-owned farm has evolved into a vertically integrated agribusiness specializing in peach, nectarine, and apple orchards, as well as the production of over 30 varieties of fruit, red, white, sweet, and table wines. The winery, which opened in 2014, offers wine tastings, live music nights, private wine pairings, and seasonal events, and features a Ravelli Wood-Burning Oven serving fresh-made pizzas and flatbreads. Located at 500 University Blvd, the business serves the broader New Jersey region and has built a reputation for community engagement and quality, reflected in its 4.50 rating from 199 reviews.

The farm’s legacy spans over a century, beginning with a 7.5-acre plot on University Boulevard. The DeEugenio family expanded the operation through generations, growing from a small orchard to a 500-acre farm managed by Lewis Sr. and Lewis Jr., with support from field manager Ted Mlinar. The winery was established as a modern extension of the farm’s agricultural roots, emphasizing locally sourced fruit and a commitment to preserving South Jersey’s heritage through unique displays of regional memorabilia. The winery’s food service, launched in April 2025, complements its offerings with wood-fired cuisine, further enhancing the experience for visitors.

With a century of continuous operation and deep community ties, Summit City Farms & Winery stands as a longstanding fixture in Glassboro’s agricultural and cultural landscape.
