Montclair Community Farms Coalition provides local farm sites to engage the community in organic farming, food, agricultural and nutrition education.
Montclair Community Farms (formerly Miller Street Community Farm) is
a coalition of HOMECorp, Montclair Department of Health and Human Services, Montclair History Center, Montclair State University, and Rutgers Cooperative Extension: Essex County 4-H and Master Gardeners
We farm two sites in Montclair, one at Miller Street and one at the Montclair History Center. Community volunteers and Youth farmers tend the farm sites along with a farm coordinator and farm director. Together we plant, grow, harvest and sell vegetables and produce at more affordable prices throughout the gardening season.
To provide local farm sites to engage the community in organic farming, food, agricultural, and nutrition education. These local micro urban farms are hands-on resources to create a healthy food environment to support healthy food and lifestyle choices. Food grown on our sites will be made available to the community through low cost farm stands and other direct distribution.
