Ronald Weiss will begin alternative medicine wellness center on West Mill Road.
Leaving a traditional medical practice in West New York to create a farm and vegetarian-based wellness center in Long Valley, for some doctors, may seem unusual. Maybe even a little bit crazy. But for Dr. Ronald Weiss of Guttenberg, New Jersey, it’s a dream come true, more than 20 years in the making. Weiss recently purchased 363 acres of land on West Mill Road for $2.525 million, a deal that took nearly two years to complete.

For Weiss, closing on the property took nearly two years, according to his real estate agent Mary Grant, a Long Valley resident. Grant assisted Weiss in the transaction not just on the business end, but when soil samples were needed from the farm to ensure it was of the quality the…

As a bergen county resident for over 18 years, I had witnessed the tear down and degradation of prime local farms and land in the Saddle River Valley. It was not until 4 years ago that my family made a conscious decision to pick up and move, and we literally stumbled across Long Valley.
