Welcome to Beach Plum Farm
While doing research on the history of Congress Hall, founder Curtis Bashaw, co-managing partner of the Cape Resorts Group, discovered that the hotel had once sourced all of their fruits and vegetables from their own local farm, so he put his Wharton MBA to work and the concept of farm-to-table Beach Plum Farm was born. We bought this farm with the vision of growing food for our restaurants in Cape May. People love to get in touch with where their food comes from and with the natural setting here, just a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. 8 years later, his dream is now a reality and the 62 acre farm now supplies most of the produce for the Louisa's Cafe, Boiler Room, Exit Zero Cookhouse, Ebbitt Room, Blue Pig Tavern and Rusty Nail. The farm has grown to produce over 100 kinds of fruits and vegetables (Over 1000 watermelons this year alone!), chickens and eggs, and Berkshire Hogs, a heritage breed.

Sunset Beach, Cape May, New Jersey flag ceremony in honor of my dad, Max Barth. August 26, 2015
No matter the occasion, Max Barth could be easily spotted wearing his USS Topeka CL-67 cap. He is most certainly looking down with pride at this occasion of the Sunset Beach flag ceremony being held in his name. Family here this evening are Bobbi, Max’s wife of 64 years, Bobbi,; his children, Fern and her husband Sterling, and Michael; three of his grandchildren, Rachel and her husband Boris, and Jason; and, Max’s two great granddaughters, Alexandra and Amelia.
Max Barth was born on October 23, 1926. Compassion, respect, empathy, kindness and love. These are just a few words to describe this man - a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He taught his children and grandchildren all those values and more, not through words, but through life’s everyday actions.
He began working at the age of 10. He had a strong work ethic that mimicked that of his parents, who came through Ellis Island as young adults. Max graduated from high school at 17 years of age. At that time he enlisted in the Navy and served two and a half years on the Topeka CL 67 stationed in the Philippines. His position was signalman
Upon discharge he completed his college education and went on to Rutgers Pharmacy College in Newark. Max received his degree in pharmacy in 1950. Eventually he and his wife, Bobbi, who he married on September 8, 1951, owned and operated Wolff's Pharmacy in Bloomfield, N.J. As a pharmacist in a “Mom and Pop” store, Max cared for his customers as if they were family for more than 42 years.
Max was a member of the Jewish War Veterans and the Masonic Lodge for more than 55 years. He was an active member of AARP Chapter No. 4026. He and Bobbi were long time volunteers at the YMHA of Union.
Max Barth passed away 18 months ago, on February 26, 2014. We miss the sound of his voice, the wisdom in his advice, the stories of his life, and just being in his presence. He is missed as much today as he was the day he died. He will be loved forever.

The Striper Migration:
Every winter, anticipation builds for the arrival of migrating striped bass. Each year is different, and exact timing seems to be strongly influenced by water temperatures along the Atlantic coast.
By tracking fishing reports from charter captains, contributors, and readers at OnTheWater.com, we have been mapping the striped bass spring migration from the Mid-Atlantic to Maine since 2015. Each year has been very different and provided some interesting insight into the timing of the striper migration.
2015: A historically snowy and cold winter kept water temperatures cool well into the spring, delaying the striped bass migration and resulting in later arrivals than most fishermen could recall in recent history. Yet, by mid-June, big striped bass were reported from the Jersey Shore to southern Maine.
2016: A strong El Nino blessed the East Coast with a mild winter, and the migration got off to an early start. Big bass appeared in Raritan Bay by mid-April, and fresh schoolie stripers arrived early to New England. However, by June, the maps for 2015 and 2016 looked almost identical.
2017: Bitter cold weather in March delayed the striper spawn in the Chesapeake and slowed the start of the migration. In mid-May, big post-spawn bass showed up off northern New Jersey to chow down on bunker. Remarkably, schools of bass, including many fish over 30 pounds, arrived in Cape Cod waters earlier than usual, and it seemed as if large numbers of fish bypassed Long Island waters.
2018: Another cold spring delayed the striper spawn and had many anglers lamenting that the migration was running about two weeks behind schedule. While this meant a slow start in parts of Cape Cod and Massachusetts, it also meant a longer spring season for anglers in Western Long Island Sound and off Long Island’s South Shore.
