Fresh Fruits and Veggies Coming to Your Montclair Doorstep!

Just Farmed, an NJ-based produce delivery service will add Montclair to their list of local towns.

"Our mission at Just Farmed is to make it easy to eat local produce, so I'm excited to be offering deliveries to Montclair this season,” said Meredith Lehman, founder of Just Farmed.

From Westfield NJ, Lehman founded Just Farmed in 2013 to bring local produce to residents of her town and beyond.

Weekly from May through December, Just Farmed brings subscribers a new box packed with produce harvested just 24-48 hours earlier.

“There are so many amazing farms in NJ, NY and PA and I couldn't be happier to bring these heathy, fresh and delicious items to families in Montclair and the neighboring towns," said Lehman.

The boxes include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables -- from popular items like berries, melons, corn, tomatoes, and peppers to uncommon produce like rhubarb, sunchokes, garlic scapes and celeriac.
