The 127th in NJveg’s (@vegnj) hiking/walking + vegan dining series was a joint event with the Veg Friends of South Jersey Heylo group on Saturday July 11. We started with an easy ~4.5 mile hike/walk on the southern half of the Elephant Swamp Trail in Elmer and Upper Pittsgrove, out-and-back. Afterward, we had a delicious lunch at Papa Luigi Elmer, @papa_luigis_elmer (just a block away), which has an extensive vegan menu, including plenty of gluten free options! 📸 Steve W and Steve J

The 126th in NJveg’s (NJveg) hiking/walking + vegan dining series was
our 5th annual July 4 hike at Whitesbog — although this year it was on
Sunday July 5. We snacked on blueberries along the trail, and some of
the hikers brought a bunch home! Afterward, we went for lunch at
vegan-friendly Tiga’s Artisan Pizzeria in Medford, followed by vegan
ice cream at Peewee’s Ice Cream (Peewee's Ice Cream ™️), also in Medford.

NJveg (NJveg) participated in a 5k run/hike fundraiser for the vegan nonprofit The Barnyard Sanctuary (The Barnyard Sanctuary in NJ) in Hope on Saturday June 27! This was the 125th in NJveg’s hiking/walking + vegan dining series. We opted to hike a 5k trail through the sanctuary. We got soaked in an unexpected steady rain (so we skipped the scheduled community picnic afterward), but still had a lot of fun and raised money for the sanctuary. You can still make a donation sponsoring the NJveg 5K team here - enter “NJveg” in the “Your Note for the Donor Scroll” box.

The 123rd in NJveg’s (NJveg) hiking/walking + vegan dining series
started with an easy ~3.5 mile walk/hike at Big Brook Park (521 Route
520, Marlboro, NJ 07746) on Sunday June 14. Afterward, we had a
delicious early dinner at the completely vegan Sri Krishna Vegan
Bhojanashala (31 Wooleytown Rd, Morganville, NJ 07751).![]()
A note about the bird photo: We verified with several sources that
this was a mockingbird fledgling learning to fly and should not be
disturbed. The parents would be watching (we could hear them) and
feed it if needed. Since it was at the edge of the trail and in real
danger of being stepped on, we placed some large sticks around it.
When we returned later, this bird had flown! [Trivia question:
identify that reference.]
