Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …

Travel & photography - two great things that are meant for each other. If you love both as I do, this is the place for you. Travel the world and take great pictures. Come with us to visit beautiful and interesting places around the world and return home with gorgeous photos. My goal is to visit beautiful and interesting destinations, mostly international, especially the places that tourists do not normally get to see. If it's not a special (non-tourist) trip, I won't do it. The big bus tour comp …

I decided to start this group because I moved to the area about 10 years ago and have had difficulty meeting people with the same interests. Or most of my friends from the area are married with children and if it isnt the spouse it's the kids that deter my friends from going out. So...I would like to see varied activities so we can gather a large group and maybe diversify the interests I am about to mention. How about a sushi night or a karaoke night or a night with both if we can find a venue. …

Have you heard of a CSA? This is a program where a group of individuals (consumers in the local community) pledge their support to a nearby farming operation. With this support comes the sharing of the risks and benefits of food production. The system is simple: shareholders stop by the farm on a designated day to pick up their weekly rations. The final step is to enjoy the produce and to try new recipes that unlock the delicious flavors and benefits of local produce! Ort Farms has created a sys …

What is a CSA ? The idea behind Community Supported Agriculture, is that a local farmer grows for a group of members who have purchased “shares” in the harvest. Members pay at the beginning of the season in March, when the farmer most needs the money. When the crops start coming in June, the farmer delivers a weekly assortment of vegetables, herbs and some fruit. 100% of your food dollars go to the person who is growing it and you are supporting sustainable local agriculture and get freshly …

Welcome to the Central NJ Clean Eating Meetup Group. I've come to the realization that to live a healthy lifestyle, I have to be willing to step up.  As such I took on being an organizer for those in the same vibe.  I enjoy learning new things and most especially when it comes to eating.  Life is about fun, and cooking is one of the most creative outlets for people, let's share it.  Thank you.
