Purple Dragon Co-op was formed in 1987 to bring natural foods into our area at prices closer to wholesale. In 1989, we began working to improve the availability of exquisitely fresh organic produce for our members. Purple Dragon originated the idea of a mixed produce variety basket that has been copied all over our area and has become a national trend. We buy from many local organic and some ecological farmers and work closely with them to support their efforts to grow food in an ecologically sound manner in our own community. We have host groups in these cities: Aberdeen, Allendale, Atlantic Highlands, Basking Ridge, Bayville, Belle Mead, Blauvelt, Bloomfield, Bridgewater, Cherry Hill, Convent Station, Croton-on-Hudson(NY), Denville, Englishtown, Fair Lawn, Flanders, Glen Ridge, Hamilton Township, Hastings-On-Hudson(NY), Highland Park, Hoboken, Jersey City, Kenilworth, Kinnelon, Lacey, Lebanon, Leonia, Lincroft, Linden, Little Silver, Madison, Manahawkin, Manasquan, Maplewood, Milford(PA), Millburn, Montclair, Morris Plains, Morristown, Neptune, New City(NY), New Providence, Newark, Newton, Nyack(NY), Oceanport, Point Pleasant, Pompton Plains, Port Murray, Rahway, Raritan, Red Bank, Ridgewood, River Edge, River Vale, Rutherford, Scotch Plains, Somerville, South Orange, Spring Lake, Staten Island(NY), Succasunna, Summit, Teaneck, Tinton Falls, Union, Vernon, Warren Township, Wayne, Weehawken, & Westfield
