ABOUT UPPER MEADOWS FARM
Begun in 1987, Upper Meadows Farm has been devoted to sustainable holistic
agriculture. Joining the Certified
Organic community in 1991, we have maintained
certification ever since. From our beginning on 4 1/2 acres we have
evolved to our current size of 153 acres, all certified organic. We
have expanded our vegetable production from the traditional "kitchen
garden," which remains as one of our fields, to over 12 acres today,
that serve our CSA membership producing over 200 varieties of vegetables,
herbs and fruit. We are gradually expanding our Apple and Pear orchard.
We have devoted an additional 1/2 acre to perennial flower production.
We make hay when the sun shines and rotate our grain crops, which have
been barley, oats, wheat, rye, spelt, flax, buckwheat, and corn. All
our livestock are pasture based. We are always working to improve and
expand our pasture which we consider the foundation of our agricultural
health. Please use the Products
link to see what is in season and available for purchase.

DIRECTIONS TO THE
FARM
(call ahead, open by appointment only)
Pollara Lane is located approximately
100 feet north of mile marker 128 on the South bound (West) side of
Rte 206 in Montague, NJ.
"Countryside Deli" and "Gardens To Grow" are at the highway intersection
of Pollara Lane and Rte 206. Pollara Lane is a PRIVATE road. WE do
not have a typical street sign at the highway.
Once you turn off of Rte 206 you are on Pollara Lane. Pass the highway
buildings and proceed 1000' up the lane. Take the fork to the right.
Stop at the first building (red brick).
Our market is located on the ground level.
Please park head in. Do not block the travel lane. If no one is in
sight, honk your horn a bit and give us time to return from the field.
