Frozen yogurt shop should arrive this spring.
A local pharmacist who confesses he loves frozen yogurt is opening his first Red Mango in West Caldwell this spring. Urvish Patel’s shop will be located at 796 Bloomfield Ave. in the West Caldwell Shopping Center. Patel, who lives in Parsippany and works for Rite Aid, said he became interested in the business venture when he learned Red Mango’s frozen yogurt does not include artificial ingredients and is low in fat and sugar. He said the business will be an extension of what he does as a pharmacist, which is encourage his customers to pursue a healthy lifestyle. “It’s my job as a pharmacist to care and know about health, yet as a frozen yogurt fan, I want treats that taste great,” Patel said. “Red Mango combines the best of both worlds …

Customers can expect some changes, some continuity at former location of Vila Meats.
Brian Provost grew up in a close-knit family that valued sharing a meal together. “Every single dinner we had as a family,” said Provost, owner of the recently opened Corner Butcher Block in Caldwell. “Every Sunday we had dinner at my grandmother’s house.” Last week, Provost took over the space on Park Avenue that was home to Vila Meats for more than 30 years. Among his plans is to introduce prepared dinners, he said, so that customers can go home and eat as a family as if they cooked themselves.

Provost said while some things will remain familiar to Vila’s long-time loyal …

Stop by Caldwell Farmers' Market to meet Sprout Food and Farms.
“The business is multi-faceted,” said Dave Chalek, the man behind Sprout Food and Farm’s mission to bring fresh, local, sustainable produce to the area—not just in the summertime but year-round. This soon-to-be Verona resident plans to operate a produce market in the retail space in the front of the property located at 82 Pine St. while maintaining a greenhouse in back. He'll also be running his current landscape design and organic garden care business out of the location, and he’ll do it all seven days a week, 365 days a year. For local residents and restaurants this means access to fresh, flavorful natural produce all year long. And Chalek’s garden is anything but garden variety. He grows plants with such tantalizing names as long …
