Even though it is called the garden state I find it hard to find local produce.
Local organic is almost impossible. Sure I can drive 50min to whole foods or pay way to much at my 1 local health food store,but I really want to do the local thing you know. I find that the farm markets by me bring in produce from other states like washington, pa, ect.
Toms River (about 30min. drive for me) however does have a nice farmers market only on wednesdays and i think just in the summer but there is acutually one organic farm that goes there :)
I guess I have more options in Monmouth County. There are 4 health food stores and a Wegmans all within a few minutes and there are quite a few organic farmer's markets one even within walking distance of my home. Chanie..My parents live in Toms River, where is there one there?
sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice

Hello from Glassboro.
Hi the59sound, hows the glassboro area for a raw foodist?
the59sound, do you go to Rowan? Or have you already graduated from college? If you don't want to say, that's fine, too.
Chanie, I'm in Bergen County. I know several raw foodists in the area.
Hi Kaitlyn! Thanks for dropin a note here. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in NJ. I feel like I'm at the edge of the earth here sometimes :P
nope, just born and raised in this town.
moving to morgantown, wv this spring for school, though.
Chanie, have you tried MEETUP.com? Check it out and search "raw foods". There may be a group in your area.
the59sound, cool! WVU? A close friend went there and can't say enough about it.
I'm in Bergen County :)
