Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Walking + Vegan Dining - Essex CountyBrookdale Park, Bloomfield, NJ
The 101st in NJveg’s hiking/walking + vegan dining series will start with a vigorous walk for approximately an hour at Brookdale Park in Bloomfield & Montclair (info). This is our first joint event with the Plant Based Lifestyle - Northern NJ Meetup group!
We’ll meet at the Upper Parking Lot on W Circuit Dr (GPS coordinates 40.834582, -74.190165 - enter the park from Bellevue Ave). Note - if entering the park from Watchung Ave, you can use the Brookdale Park E Circuit Dr Parking Lot (GPS coordinates 40.833961, -74.188380) and walk about 1/4 mile to the Upper Parking Lot.
Lunch will be at TBD. Please review NJveg’s restaurant trip guidelines, and note that only vegan food may be ordered at our table. Inclement weather date TBD.
- Volunteer Work Day at Udder Chaos Farm Sanctuary - Burlington CountyWrightstown, Wrightstown, NJ
Join NJveg and Vegan in NJ for a volunteer work day! We’ll be helping the vegan non-profit Udder Chaos Farm Sanctuary. We highly recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, sunblock, work gloves, work boots, and clothes that can get dirty. If you’d like to donate, you can do so at the sanctuary or online.
Space is limited, adults only. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with people cancelling at the last minute - don’t be that person! The address will be provided privately to volunteers before the event.
- Hiking + Vegan Dining - Burlington CountyWhitesbog Historic Village, Browns Mills, NJ
The 102nd in NJveg’s hiking/walking + vegan dining series will be our annual hike at Whitesbog. We'll meet in the main parking lot near the General Store (GPS coordinates 39.959255, -74.509671). We’re not sure if any relatively local vegan-friendly restaurants will be open, but let us know if you have any ideas. We can at least dine on blueberries along the trail! Inclement weather date TBD.
Update: A couple of our members have offered to host a post-hike vegan BBQ about 22 minutes away! If you'd like to contribute something, perhaps bring it in a cooler with ice so it doesn't bake in your car!
