Westfield- own Just Farmed (www.justfarmed), a seasonal, organic and sustainably farmed local produce fresh box delivery company, is the only local CSA delivering a winter box packed full of delicious fruits and vegetables. It will be a monthly box delivered on the second Tuesday in January, February and March. Regular weekly service will resume in May.

Wondering what local produce could be available in these winter months? Let me tempt you with the thought of delicious storage fruits; popular root vegetables like carrots, beets and parsnips; green house grown items including herbs, lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers; winter crops such as kale and other greens; as well as favorites like potatoes, sweet potatoes, squashes and onions – all delivered straight to your front door.

Currently Just Farmed is delivering to Westfield, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Garwood, Cranford, Clark, Springfield, Mountainside, Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Millburn, Short Hills, Summit, Montclair, Warren, Watchung and parts of The Plainfileds, Springfield, Roselle, Chatham, Madison and Linden. More towns will be added in May 2015.

Other Just Farmed news includes:

• The organization has been donating extra produce to Long Hill Church in Madison and the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit. Both of these churches had a customer receiving a box and we asked if they needed donations. Many organizations are hesitant to take fresh foods, as they typically prefer non-perishable items.
  
• Three new towns have been added to the current delivery route: Chatham, Madison and Linden and there are plans to add more by May.
  
• For the 2015/2016 season, Just Farmed plans to launch regular Mobile Markets.
