Howell Organic Veggie-Sharing Group Seeking Members

HOWELL, NJ — The Howell Community Supported Agriculture organization is accepting new members.

According to a post on the Howell Happenings NJ Facebook page, members of the Howell CSA can get organic vegetables that are purchased directly from a New Jersey farmer.

The season is 24 weeks from June to November 2018 and costs approximately $29 per week for full shares or $15 per week for half-shares, according to the post. The costs are estimated and the final cost will be determined in January, the post said.

Full payment is due by March 2018 and early-bird discounts are available.

Members contribute four hours during the season to help with set-up and clean up, the organization said. Weekly pick-up will begin in June 2018 in Howell, off Oak Glen about 2 miles from the Howell public library.

The harvest includes but is not limited to arugula, zucchini, potatoes, peas, herbs, melons, lettuces, beans, tomatoes, squash and much more.

"This is not a for-profit business," the organization said. "We will be a group of community members who will be sharing a crop of organic produce."
