Be a Locavore in 2024!

Join the Movement with a CSA Membership with US!

Be a Locavore in 2024!

LOCAVORE  /lōka vôr/ : A person whose diet consists principally of locally grown, raised, or produced foods. The locavore movement encourages consumers to buy from farmers’ markets or even to produce their own food. The argument is that fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better. Their belief is that supermarkets, while inexpensive and able to offer seasonal foods all year long, aren’t really offering the best food.

J.A.D.S. Farm Market is supplied primarily by John D Madura Farms in Pine Island, NY

  • 300-acre Family-owned Black Dirt farm (15 minutes from the farm stand)
  • Seeds and plants are never GMO. (Genetically Modified Organism)
  • We practice IPM. (Integrated Pest Management) so no unnecessary or preventative spraying
  • We are certified by the USDA in GAPs (Good Agriculture Practices) and Food Safety

*We have been farming since 1996, our Farmer has a vast knowledge about varieties and growing habits.

How our CSA works:

[Click here for 2024 CSA Registration Forms & Prices]

You purchase a share in the Spring. We then thank you for helping us to start up by adding to your share (debit) a Bonus Dollar amount based on your sign-up date
The seeds of the season are planted, nurtured, and harvested (with Mother Nature’s Grace). Our Farmer Friends notify us as their items peak, become available, and are ready to join ours at the Stand. Truly LOCAL means everything is based on seasonal readiness!

Now it’s time to shop!

We are open 7 days a week from March 21 (for the early Easter) through December 31, 9am – 5pm. You come to “shop” whenever it is convenient for you, and get as much or as little as you want. Come once or twice a week, or even skip a week if you’d like

Your purchase is then deducted from your “share”. Use your share to purchase ANYTHING at the Farm Stand – from plants to produce, honey to burgers.

Our CSA members build a healthy friendship with the farmer, his family, and the staff at J.A.D.S. Not only do you get the sign-up bonus, but we also do Member First and BOGO sales. And let’s not forget those “try me” samples!

Locavore Items you can find besides our plants & produce: fresh seasonal fruits, brown eggs, cheeses, Cream line milk, grass-fed and finished meats, baked goods, gourmet ravioli, jams and sauces, compound butter, seasonal cider and eggnog, natural harvest pickles, and the list grows……

We feel that because you choose what you want, on your schedule, there is way less wasting of food when you are a part of our CSA Program.

So not only are you becoming a part of a Healthy Movement, you also get the Bonus for signing up, the special deals throughout the Season, AND special bulk prices at preserving time! You also won’t have a refrigerator filled with unknown or unusable items, so there’s less waste!

  • Heartbreakers (tomatoes) in hanging baskets
  • We are going to try growing melons again; Cantaloupe, Canary, and Seeded Watermelon

From Our Farm… Fresh to You!

J.A.D.S. Farm Market Style CSA is “Always in Season”!

We are pleased to present another year of our delicious, nutritious, farm-to-table CSA Program. 

How our CSA works:

You purchase a share at the beginning of the season (either February, March or by April 30th). We then thank you for helping us to start up by adding to your share (debit) a Bonus Dollar amount.

The seeds for the season are then selected, nurtured, and harvested. As our seasonal produce, along with the fruits from our farmer friends, matures it is brought directly to our Farm Stand.

Fresh seasonal produce means don’t look for corn in April, but do look for strawberries in June.

Now it’s time to shop! We are open 7 days a week from April 1 through December 31, 9am – 5pm.
You can come whenever it is convenient for you. Get as much or as little as you want, once or twice week, or skip a week – your terms.

Your purchase is then deducted from your “share”. You can use your share on ANYTHING at the Farm Stand – from plants to produce, honey to burgers.

Our CSA members build a healthy friendship with the farmer, his family, and the staff at J.A.D.S. Not only do you get the sign up bonus, but we also do occasional Member First and BOGO sales. And let’s not forget those “try me” samples!

JADS Farmers Market Sussex NJ Local Vegetables

Wholesale Vegetables – harvesting now…

We are proud to supply our own farm grown vegetables wholesale to local chefs & restaurants.

We send out a weekly wholesale list to restaurants and we now can arrange delivery!

The produce list includes the vegetables and farm produce we’re picking fresh off the field that week – along with quantities and prices, sent each week – to help you provide your clientele the freshest, local produce grown right here on our nutrient-rich Pine Island NY Black Dirt Farm!

The fresher the produce the healthier it is for us, and the better it tastes. The shorter the time between the farm and your dinner plate, the less likely it is that nutrients and flavor will be lost from food – especially vegetables.

Buy local

The reasons are numerous but keeping your local family-owned farmer in business seems near the top of the list for us!

You can arrange a convenient time to pick up directly from our farm or we can provide delivery.
