FARM REAPS STATE ACCOLADES: MacBain a Unique Outgrowth of Closter Life

CLOSTER, N.J.—One of the borough’s best-kept secrets—the MacBain Farm Park—was selected to receive a statewide environmental organization’s “achievement award” in early October, which was accepted by the local environmental commission.

The Closter Environmental Commission was honored for its nearly two-decade stewardship of the 5.5-acre MacBain Farm by the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions at its Oct. 4 statewide conference.

MacBain is a farm with a simple mission: to allow resident families to pick fresh produce for free from whatever is in season and available.

“Though our project is nearly 20 years old, it has grown during those years, and has been remarkably successful in 2019—with a large increase in volunteers and visitors. In addition, in 2019, the borough council has added the farmland to our Recreation and Open Space Inventory while designating the farmhouse a historic property,” said the group’s application to ANJEC.

The farm includes a park and walking trails, which are open year-round, although the farm only allows crop picking during the season on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

MacBain Farm was originally slated for a synagogue but became available to the community as part of a land swap with a property on Piermont Road.

Interested in preserving the farm for Closter, former Councilwoman and Mayor Sophie Heymann said past governing bodies moved to help preserve the property for residents.

The farm is run by a committee including Closter Environmental Commission, chaired by Mary Mayer, and employs a caretaker that lives on-premises to maintain the farm and its gardens. The caretaker, John McCaffrey, is a Cornell graduate with a degree in agriculture, and lives on the farm with his family.

He is required to contribute $25,000 in equity toward farm operations yearly, which he has consistently done, according to environmental commission members.

‘We are unique’

“We believe we are unique in providing this model. The original and ongoing mission of MacBain Farm has been to introduce Closter families to fresh produce—how it is planted, grown and harvested. There are no pesticides used on the farm,” said the commission’s application.

“Closter residents are permitted to pick one red bucket full of veggies each day the farm is opened (presently three days a week) at no cost whatsoever. We do encourage residents to volunteer at the farm to help with weeding, in addition to welcoming visitors and learning and teaching about what happens at the farm,” said the commission.

Unique community farm

“I don’t know of another similar thing in the whole United States,” said former Mayor Heymann. “It takes a lot of volunteer work, and I’ve been doing volunteer work in some cases five days a week. It wouldn’t work if it wasn’t personalized,” added Heymann.

Heymann said the farm produces all types of herbs, cucumbers, seven kinds of lettuce, all kinds of beans, different varieties of tomatoes, four kinds of kale, cabbages, broccoli, different squash varieties, pumpkins, and dozens of different vegetables and flowers.

Heymann told Northern Valley Press that there are many residents of Closter who do not know about the farm but the farm property gets up to 200 people on summer Saturdays, and sometimes over 500 people can visit the farm during a week. MacBain Farm hosts an annual festival for Closter residents only, with this year’s event scheduled for Oct. 19, 3 to 5 p.m., at 203 Hickory Lane, Closter, hosted by the Closter Environmental Commission.

o matter the weather outside, it’s always laser season at Bare Aesthetic MedSpa in Closter. The medical spa, which specializes in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and facial aesthetics, has an array of new laser services. In addition, they now offer an annual membership that lets loyal patrons save on treatments.

Vanessa Coppola is an FNP-BC Board Certified Nurse Practitioner, aesthetic specialist, and the owner of Bare Aesthetic MedSpa. Speaking about their latest treatments and services, she says they have a new Fraxel Dual Laser.

More from Best of NJ

The Fraxel Dual Laser is ideal for skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, sunspots, discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. However, its usage is completely customizable. For instance, lower settings offer a more gentle treatment with little downtime. Likewise, higher settings provide more aggressive treatment for deeper lines and acne scars. “We call it the magic eraser in the industry!” Vanessa says. She also mentions it has an excellent safety record, and is the most studied and researched laser in the world.

Aside from the Fraxel Dual Laser, they offer the Clear + Brilliant and new Clear + Brilliant Touch service. The latter boasts a “no downtime” laser. In particular, the Clear + Brilliant touch combines two wavelengths in one treatment for accelerated results without social downtime. “It’s a game changer!” Vanessa says. What’s even better is both the Fraxel and the Clear + Brilliant are safe for all skin types and tones.

Another new service available at Bare Aesthetic is the VI Peel. “We love it for that red carpet glow,” Vanessa explains. This peel is also safe for all skin types and tones. “We really work hard to ensure that our medical spa is inclusive; and specifically look for devices and services that can be enjoyed by everyone,” she adds.

Closter's Brasserie Mémère sates the hunger for authentic French dishes in NJ

I don't know about you, but I've yet to come across frog's legs on any menu in New Jersey. Nor, for that matter, quenelles de brochet. And I can't recall ever being offered cassoulet de canard at any French restaurant on this side of the river.Chef and owner Thomas Ciszak admits that he was a bit hesitant to put those (and other) out-of-fashion classic French dishes on his menu at ...

I don't know about you, but I've yet to come across frog's legs on any menu in New Jersey. Nor, for that matter, quenelles de brochet. And I can't recall ever being offered cassoulet de canard at any French restaurant on this side of the river.

Chef and owner Thomas Ciszak admits that he was a bit hesitant to put those (and other) out-of-fashion classic French dishes on his menu at Brasserie Mémère, his expansive three-month-old restaurant that is so well designed — white mosaic tile floors, large ceiling fans, wicker chairs, white paper tablecloths — it looks as if it was plucked out of Paris and set down in Closter.

Apparently Ciszak, who closed Chakra, his renowned American restaurant in Paramus, in August, needn't have worried. The German-born chef has found that these old-school Gallic dishes are craved in New Jersey perhaps as much as the French ability to eat them and not gain weight is envied.

"I always say, 'Don't undersell what you can do,'" Ciszak says. "Guests are actually there — as long as you don't overcharge and you make good food."

After dining three times at Mémère, I can say that Ciszak makes darn good food that doesn't require digging deeply into one's pocket to enjoy it.

The story continues below the gallery.

Easy to enjoy are the cocktails that his wife Evelyn shakes up. I highly recommend the La Vie en Rose ($10), a slightly tart, somewhat fruity and decidedly delicious potion made with Prosecco, pineapple juice and cascara, the often discarded fruit of the coffee cherry. Also delicious, if slightly sweet, is the Mémère75 ($10), a Prosecco-elderflower-and-gin concoction. The Negroni is darn good, too.

If you haven't had frog's legs ($18) , consider trying them here. Yes, they do taste like chicken — that is, exceptionally tender, exceptionally juicy chicken; here it is deliciously dressed in a crisp flour coating and served with a tasty celery remoulade.

Or if, like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman," you've never had escargots, you're in luck: At Mémère, they are served out of the shell so that the "slimy little suckers" (Roberts' description) don't go flying around the restaurant. (With shells, special small tongs are used, and sometimes they don't quite grasp the entire snail; oops!). Covered by a heady bright green butter sauce blended with fresh parsley and tarragon, these are a French delicacy that would be a shame to pass up.

Quenelles de brochet ($14), silky mousse-like pike dumplings, is a classic Lyonnaise dish that Ciszak says "no one in New Jersey offers." Served in a shallow pool of lobster sauce, the quenelle was light as mousse and as fluffy as cotton balls but, alas, bland; the dish cried out for some salt and pepper.

The two savory tartes I sampled were delicious, even though the dough was not as crispy as I would have liked. A tarte flambée ($13) donned a slightly tart and profoundly creamy creme fraiche with nice bits of wonderfully smoky bacon, and a tarte Parisienne ($19) wore lovely sweet slices of pear, a smear of slightly fruity Tallegio cheese and chips of earthy baked foie gras. Two to three can share a tarte, if, that is, no one gets carried away and devours one entire pie alone.

Pork schnitzel ($24) admittedly is not a French dish, but Ciszak grew up eating it nearly "every day," so he couldn't help but put the dish on the menu. I'm glad he did, though, like the quenelle, the dish could have used more salt and pepper. Nevertheless, the pork tenderloin, though cooked in butter, was grease-free and served with terrific long strands of soft red cabbage and classic braised spaetzle.

The cassoulet de canard ($26), however, was a huge disappointment, its beans severely overcooked, duck confit tasteless and cured pork seemingly MIA. Cizsak says he plans to take it off the menu this spring to make way for a lighter dish.

I would be crushed if the boeuf bourguignon ($34) is ever taken off the menu. Enveloped in a rich, sexy red-wine sauce infused with smoked bacon and accented by savory pearl onions and roasted whole mushrooms, the succulent slow-roasted beef cheeks were so tender they nearly melted off my fork. Heaven! What's more, atop the meat sat a nice helping of sweet, fluffypotatoes dauphin, which you should seriously consider ordering as a side ($8), even if you get the boeuf. They're that good.

Really good, too, is the nearly flourless molten chocolate cake laced with cognac-soaked cherries and slivers of hazelnuts and topped with coffee ice cream. The custardy creme brulée topped by macerated strawberries should also not be slighted; it's the real deal.

Like Mémère itself.

CLOSTER -- The Kmart store in Closter will close in mid-August and lay off 102 employees, company officials said.

The store closures in Closter and elsewhere are moves to cut costs and focus the company more on Internet shopping, Howard Riefs, a spokesman for Sears Holdings, which owns Kmart, said.

"As a result, we hope to retain a portion of the sales previously associated with these stores by nurturing and maintaining our relationships with the members that shopped these locations," Riefs said.

The store's 102 employees, mostly part-time hourly workers, will receive severance and can apply for open positions at other Kmart and Sears stores, Riefs said. The store opened in November 1979.

Customers with layaway contracts can pay the contracts off early or transfer them online or to other stores. There are other Kmart stores in Westwood, Lodi and Elmwood Park.

"We truly apologize for any customer inconvenience," Riefs said.

Mayor John C. Glidden Jr. expects Kmart to be replaced by another big-box store. Edens, which owns Closter Plaza shopping center, where Kmart is located, plans to redevelop the center.

The developer is in the midst of the permitting process, Glidden said.

"We think the impact is going to be positive--not that there's anything wrong with Kmart," he said.

The 210,439-square-foot shopping center will be anchored by a Whole Foods, according to the Edens website.

The Greater Atlantic Pacific and Tea company sued the Closter Planning Board after their decision to approve Closter Plaza. A judge ruled against A&P, which has a store in Closter, in January.
