Bloomfield-Montclair CSA
The Bloomfield-Montclair CSA is a group of over 100 members who support the sustainable farming activities of local farmers. The weekly vegetable shares are provided in partnership with John Krueger, currently at Starbrite Farm. Starbrite grows organic vegetables for our CSA and for a few area markets. The season runs June-November with pick-ups in Montclair on Tuesdays. Members help out at the distribution a couple of times per season and have opportunities to visit the farm.
In addition to the vegetable share, the Bloomfield-Montclair CSA also coordinates a separate fruit share in partnership with Tree-licious Orchards. Members who sign up for the fruit share receive 1-2 varieties of fruit each week, starting with Bing cherries, and progressing through the season from sugar and shiro plums, to peaches, nectarines, and finally pears and apples in the fall.
Vegetable shares contain 7-10 varieties of mostly vegetables and herbs. Members bag their own shares at one of our two pick-up sites in Montclair or Cedar Grove.
Fruit shares contain 1-2 varieties.
Eggs and poultry deliveries are biweekly. Members may personal orders for eggs and poultry.
