and fruits and has a bakery making the freshest products using natural and organic ingredients. We
strive to farm sustainably, provide fresh food for our community and offer education to those who
would like to learn more about the foods they eat.

production almost year round and offer fresh food well beyond the standard growing season. We
compost and amend the soil with only natural ingredients.
We bake fresh goods from scratch. Organic ingredients are used whenever possible to ensure the
healthiest products we can offer. On our farm, we raise chickens to provide eggs for our delicious
cookies and other treats. Our chickens roam freely about the farm, enjoying fresh air, sunshine and
living foods (bugs, grass, etc) as well as organic feed. Seasonally, we use our fresh fruits and
vegetables grown on our farm in our baked goods, such as apples and carrots for our apple/carrot
muffins.

We are a family owned and operated U-Pick farm in Elk County Pennsylvania. My husband, two
children and I with the help of some very dear people were able to make a dream come true for us!
Each and every year, the dream get's bigger and better too! Right now we are operating a farm that
you can bring your kids to and teach them to pick right along with you! It's a place that we feel can
be so educational, and so relaxing at the same time! It's a safe haven to take the little ones. We
only ask that each small child have someone to accompany them while picking so nothing get's
accidentally stepped on in all the excitement! (We know kids and understand accidents, we just like
to prevent as many as we can, for you and us alike=)
Oh, and there are lot's of Elk around us, so don't forget your camera if you do stop by for a visit. You
just might get a good shot. They like to visit quite frequently in the Spring and Fall.
We practice safety and love to see the kids learning where their food comes from. It's great to see!
We look forward to meeting new families all the time! I hope you decide to make a trip to see us.
Always call first to make sure we have available the crop you are looking for first if you are coming

Sweet Pea Nourishment's founder, Liz Solms, grew up in an apartment building right in the city, with
no backyard in sight. Perhaps that is why she always sought out small places to grow and tend
vegetables, from a fragrant windowsill to a lively community garden patch.
As time went on, growing and seeking out only the most natural, seasonal foods, and preparing
them with the simplest, time honored recipes became much more than a personal pleasure. Liz has
instructed cooking and healthy food preparation across a network of Farmers' Markets as a Certified
Community Food Educator, worked for international sustainable agriculture organizations,
connected many a farm to restaurants and hotels, and established an interactive urban nutrition
program in New York City - just to name some of the food-based initiatives of which Liz has been a
part.
Her favorite meals are those prepared for friends and family on mismatched plates. Wine is always
served at Liz's house in small juice glasses. Her most favorite gift ever was a cast iron pot to hang
above the fireplace, always keeping something tasty warm.

dedicated to providing farm fresh foods to the people in their local communities. The organization
has grown to include a variety of farmers from Susquehanna, Bradford, and Lackawanna counties
who are providing fruits, vegetables, pastured meats, eggs, cheese, herbs, maple syrup, and honey
products!
Frankferd Farms Foods grew out of a desire to work at home with our family to raise and sell organic
food. Twenty years have passed and our businesses, like our children, are growing. The Frankferd
Farms family now includes our OCIA certified organic farm and flour mill and the retail showroom
located within our warehouse. We're part of a larger family of farmers, processors, distributors, and
consumers who, working together, create an alternative, organic-oriented food system. Our
suppliers range from large whole foods operations to local neighborhood bakers and tortillas chip
makers. We serve customers from neighboring families and country stores to big city co-ops,
bakeries and institutions. We believe that by being a part of this ever growing food system we
contribute to the long term, sustainable health of our planet. We thank all of you who have chosen to

Northwest PA Growers Cooperative is a group of farms in Butler, Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence
and Mercer counties (PA) working together to provide consumers with fresh, local food all 52 weeks
of the year. Member farms must use natural / organic methods to grow produce and livestock. No
synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or hormones or antibiotics are permitted for
use. The cooperative sells farm products through an on-line Winter Market Buying Club from
Nov-April. Our new multi-farm CSA will have drop-off locations in Slippery Rock, Grove City,
Franklin and Crawford / Erie, starting June 2009. Member farms also sell at Farmers Markets
throughout the region, including Slippery Rock, Grove City, Pittsburgh, Erie, Meadville.
The 16 member farms of the cooperative use a erse range of natural, sustainable methods to raise
vegetables, fruits and livestock. These methods range from Certified Organic and Certified Naturally
Grown, to Naturally-Grown, Environmentally-Friendly, as well as 100% Grass-Fed and Grass-Fed
with Certified Organic Grain Supplement.
Selene Whole Foods Co-op has recently begun to carry a small selection of organic and
naturally-raised meats. Any meats not carried by the store, such as pork and turkey, can be ordered
easily within a week's notice. The co-op may expand its meat capacity in the near future.
Selene is a non-profit, whole foods cooperative owned and operated by its members. Membership is
open to everyone. Decision and policy making operate at two levels. The elected Board of Directors
is responsible for ongoing planning and supervision of the Co-op. The monthly board meetings are
open to the general membership, and times and places are posted in the store. Policy changes and
decisions are established by the consensus of those present at the annual membership meetings.
Members' participation at these meetings helps to insure the continued democratic operation of our
Co-op.
Selene purchases foods that are organically grown and locally produced when possible. We are
concerned with selling "whole foods," by which we mean those foods as close to their natural state
as possible - foods that have undergone little or no processing. We will not knowingly sell irradiated
foods. Our prices are discounted to members and provide considerable savings on most items.

The Slippery Rock Farmers Market is every Saturday from 9 am until 12pm during May through
October. The market consists of local farmers who sell fresh, naturally grown vegetables, fruits,
honey, eggs, meat, cheese, baked goods, cut-flowers, perennials, annuals, and vegetable plants
and artisans who offer hand-made crafts, natural soaps, beauty products and jewelry.
Weavers Way Co-op, at 559 Carpenter Lane, provides a friendly shopping environment and a wide
variety of quality foods, at prices lower than supermarkets. Members realize savings in several
ways. The Co-op is owned by its members, so there is no owner taking profits off the top. Because
members must work in the store six hours a year, a substantial portion of the Co-op's labor costs are
defrayed. And by purchasing many items in bulk, and either selling them in bulk bins or repackaged
by volunteers, Weavers Way keeps prices even lower.
The Whole foods Cooperative is a natural grocery store and co-op which carries a large selection of
organic products in all of our departments. They emphasize local producers whenever possible, and
have products from over 25 local producers. They also have an in-store, vegan and vegetarian cafe.

The Schuylkill Center's Organic Community Garden is busier than ever as we head into the height of
the growing season. The Gardens are comprised of 481 plots, each measuring roughly 16' x 20'.
One can find towering yellow corn, bright red heirloom tomats, meandering flower beds, and more
growing side by side in this maze of plots. Some plants are chosen to attract bees from the
adjacent apiary. Gardeners grow produce and vegetables for their family, friends and churches. A
few will grow for restaurants; others donate to local food banks. Some use their plot to create an
outdoor oasis to escape to. The Gardens serve as an excellent place to learn new greenthumb
techniques, enjoy the company of fellow Gardeners, and take in the beautiful scenery the area.
We have a great selection of fresh produce! Come check out our great variety of delicious
ORGANIC fruits & veggies. Our produce manager hand selects our produce each week and works
hard to ensure that only the best quality products are available for our customers. We also have
home grown and locally grown produce when in season. And when we say local, we mean it is
grown no more than 10 miles away, so you always know where your produce is coming from!

Hill Farmers' Market on Friday evenings in Ottsville.
Steve Groff and his family, farm 200 acres of vegetables and crops on hilly land in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. He has pioneered the "Permanent Cover Cropping System", which includes
no-tillage, cover crops, and effective crop rotations as a way to increase profits, enhance soil and
water quality, and reduce pesticides.
The cornerstone of this system is a unique emphasis on maintaining a permanent cover of crop
residues and cover crops on the soil surface and having something living in the soil at all times. All
vegetables and crops are then seeded or transplanted into the organic mulch. This permanent cover
aids in weed control, has virtually eliminated soil erosion on the farms 3-17% slopes, and has
increased soil and water quality.
A passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture soil conservation, soil health, and food quality,
Steve started no-tilling in the early '80s. He later began using cover crops as another soil
conservation measure and now plants cover crops based on the succeeding crop that will planted
the next year. Some fields have not been touched by any tillage equipment for over 30 years!

CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture is a system of mutual support between the farmer and
the buyer. CSA members buy a share in the harvest, paying for a season's worth of farm products at
the beginning of the year. During the harvest season, CSA members receive a weekly box of fresh,
in-season farm fare. This system benefits farmers, providing them with the upfront capital they need

to see their farms through the growing season. CSA members receive a box full of fresh and healthy
food at fair prices, delivered to a convenient location. Customers also appreciate the opportunity to

Harford Farm is a small family farm, NOFA-NY Certified Organic LLC, and sells vegetables, herbs
and cut flowers at the Cooperative Farmers Market of Scranton on Mondays and Fridays. The
market opens for 2010 on July 14. Matt Severson, who has gained a following for his baked goods,
is now at the stand next to us on Mondays.
We grow varieties for the best taste and color, not because they ship well. We're always trialing new
varieties, but the old heirlooms are a particular favorite. Since I start tomato plants from seed in a
passive solar greenhouse, I can grow tomats like Brandywine, Orange Banana, Black Krim, and
Green Zebra. I also grow rows of the favorite cherry (Sunsugar/Sungold) and every year try a few
new types. Our other specialties are salad mix and a variety of greens all year, and baby summer
squash in all colors and shapes. And of course there are the cut sunflowers and the wheatgrass.
The vegetables being a bit late in Susquehanna County, we often have a wide assortment of potted
herbs and container plants early in the year. They get pushed off the truck as more vegetables and
flowers mature, or once they're too big to carry around! We'll have sprouts (lentils, wheatgrass, pea
shoots), potted herbs, flowers, foliage plants and sometimes landscaping shrubs.
As always, Geof and I welcome your suggestions, brochure requests, and offers to weed.

Becky and I (plus many other helpers) have been providing Pittsburgh area customers with
organically grown produce, fruits, and meats since 1971. Our 80 acre farm is located near
Zelienople, about 35 miles north of the city. We also cooperate with several area farms, some close
neighbors, and a wonderful group of Amish families to our north who have been farming organically.
This assures an even steadier and more varied supply of produce while promoting the growth of
organic production in western PA.
One of the first organic growers in western PA, we have always grown strictly organically and are
certified organic with OEFFA. We believe in no magic formulas, just encourage life everywhere we
can. We fertilize most heavily with the farmer's footsteps, keeping our operation diverse and simple.
We try to give service and value to our customers and to stay humble enough to change. We have
always felt our organic produce should be able to compete well with conventional in both price and
quality. We feel we give our customers both. And more.

Because the higher costs of organic food is rapidly causing some levels of the population to be

Our season usually begins around the last week of May. After that, once a week for 22 weeks you
come to our farm on the evening you chose at the onset of the season. You pick out your
share—the portion of the harvest that you receive weekly.
There are three different sizes of shares available this year. Whole shares feed four omnivores or
two vegetarians for about one week. They usually contain about 8-12 different items. Partial shares
feed two omnivores or one vegetarian for about one week. They usually contain 5-9 different items.
Sampler shares can supplement home gardens or feed one person. Each week you will receive 4
or 5 different items.
Most of what comprises your share is determined by what is in ready to eat that week, and how
much of it we pick for you. We think that ds not give members enough control over menu planning
for the week. This year we will implement a “your choice table” where you may select a certain
number of the any of the items there. It will usually be comprised of the more odd things and not the
favorites, that everyone begs for like carrots and lettuce. For example, we have two bundles of
yard-long beans that we are trialing, some chard, some escarole, extra tomats, okra, and an edible
weed. You can pick two of those to be included in your share that week. Each week the amounts
and variety available will change, but the concept will be the same. We think this will be fairly simple
to manage, and give you more control of your menus.
Each share size comes with pick your own flowers and herbs opportunities as they are available.
We can't guarantee flowers each week, since we put most of our efforts into growing a big variety of
vegetables and fruits. But for all you flower lovers, summer and fall typically sport some decent
bouquets. Our pick your own herb garden will be started this season and expanded next season, so
look forward to opportunities to gather your own fennel, dill and parsley as you need it.
The volume of food supplied in shares fluctuates from week to week. The most popular items are

Annie's Acres is a small family farm where we grow things the old fashioned way, without the use of
chemicals or pesticides. We believe fresh air, sunshine and nature's fertilizers are the only way to
nurture and grow a quality product. We take pride in providing our customers the best in all natural

At Apple Ridge our philosophy is simple. Produce the type of food people expect from a small
sustainable family farm. Our goal is to be the farm the factory farms put pictures of on their labels.
In nature everything works together in harmony and we find the same is true in agriculture. The
more diverse our farm becomes the better it runs. We carefully manage the pastures to feed the
animals, the animals in turn help build and fertilize the soil which in turn feeds our vegetables, the
leftover vegetables help feed the animals and the soil (compost), etc, etc,. There are a million and

animal by-products, urea, or Rabon to our bison.
Our Bison meat has many outstanding qualities; It is very lean compared to beef, but it is still nice
and juicy. Bison is also more tender than beef, and has a slightly sweeter taste than beef, and no, it
is not wild or gamey tasting. Our gourmet quality bison meat is only available from our farm store,
so stop by to discover the great taste of Buffalo. We have cooking tips and recipes available, and
we love to œtalk bison• so please feel free to ask us any questions that you may have about bison,

In 1963, Mary Beccari started The Beccari's Farm Market. It began with a bushel of apples that she
sold "self-serve" style from a picnic bench. This first stand lasted for about three years. It then
evolved into a small 8-foot by 8-foot lean-to, which was washed away by a flood only two years later.
Then, with used lumber from a demolished house nearby, a larger building and in-ground cooler was
built. That building stood from 1968 to 1991 when the new brick building - the present-day home of
Beccari's Farm Market - was built.
The Beccari's have been in farming since the early 1900's. The basis of the business had been
wholesaling down at the strip in Pittsburgh. But in the early 1960's, Mary saw the coming change in
the produce market. People wanted fresher and better produce than the grocery stores could
supply. The farm market was a way to get the freshest produce to the consumer and cut out the
middleman.
Beccari's Farm is an IPM practicing sustainable farm. This approach we use to manage pests is a
mixture of cultural, physical, biological, and chemical practices, which in turn produces a healthy,
economical and environmentally friendly crop

While Bell & Evans chickens are free to roam the houses, they're not "free-range" - and for good
reasons. To assure the freshest, most tender meat, our chickens are processed at seven to eight
weeks of age. In order for these young chickens to develop healthfully, they are constantly
monitored for temperature and diet in a strictly-controlled environment and not exposed to bad
weather or diseases.
At Bell & Evans, our chickens are raised without antibiotics on a proper, 100% natural, all-vegetable
diet fortified with vitamins and minerals. Unlike many other chicken growers, we never feed our
chicken junk food like rendered meat scraps; bone, feather or fish meal; or animal fats, oils, and
grease.
You wouldn't eat that stuff and we don't think the chickens should either. What's more, Bell & Evans

Blue Rooster Farm is a family owned and operated beef and sheep farm located in the Ridge and
Valley region of South Central Pennsylvania. Our sheep and beef rotationally graze on
approximately 50 acres of pasture. During the winter they are fed grass and alfalpha hay purchased
from neighboring farms. We do not fatten on corn or other grains, rather we aim to have our beef
finish on grass in about 18 - 20 months. We also avoid the use of sythentic growth hormones and
uncessesary antibiotics. In order to grow our beef quickly on grass and hay, we select for
small-framed Black Angus cows and bulls. Our sheep are predominately North Country Cheviot - a
hardy, flighty, stocky breed who give our Border Collie, Mac, a run for the money. Along with
pasture-raised lamb and beef, we've experimented with raising free-range pigs. We are still learning
how best to incorporate these intelligent, rooting, omivores into our pasture without creating too
much disturbance and chaos on the farm. For now we are offering a limited amount of pork
products.
We have been farming according to organic standards since 1998 , however we are not USDA
certified organic.

borough of Braddock!
Located on a highly visible portion of the main business corridor, and set against the backdrop of the
borough's last remaining steel mill, Braddock Farms is Grow Pittsburgh's largest demonstration
farm.
The vegetable production relies on raised bed construction, intensive planting techniques, and
all-organic methods of growing. Flowers are also grown at a neighboring site and offered for sale.
This summer Braddock Farms will grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, sell produce to local
restaurants, and manage a farmer's market right next to Bell's Market on Braddock Ave on
Thursdays from 2pm - 6pm.
"My dream is for Braddock to become the center of urban agriculture in the region."
--Mayor John Fetterman
Braddock Farms has received strong support from the Mayor's Office and Braddock Borough
Council as a revitalization tool that will create job opportunities, transform vacant land into attractive
greenspace, and increase local access to fresh nutritious foods. The long-term goal of Braddock
Farms is to create an operation that is self-sustaining through the sale of food grown on the site.
Braddock Farms has the potential to expand its operations in the near future. Grow Pittsburgh looks

American legend of the 7th Generation, is to pass on to the next generations of farmer, a high

Steve Groff and his family, farm 200 acres of vegetables and crops on hilly land in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. He has pioneered the "Permanent Cover Cropping System", which includes
no-tillage, cover crops, and effective crop rotations as a way to increase profits, enhance soil and
water quality, and reduce pesticides.
The cornerstone of this system is a unique emphasis on maintaining a permanent cover of crop
residues and cover crops on the soil surface and having something living in the soil at all times. All
vegetables and crops are then seeded or transplanted into the organic mulch. This permanent cover
aids in weed control, has virtually eliminated soil erosion on the farms 3-17% slopes, and has
increased soil and water quality.
A passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture soil conservation, soil health, and food quality,
Steve started no-tilling in the early '80s. He later began using cover crops as another soil
conservation measure and now plants cover crops based on the succeeding crop that will planted
the next year. Some fields have not been touched by any tillage equipment for over 30 years!

At Charlestown Farm, we grow non-certified organic vegetables and small fruits on 40 beautiful
rolling acres in Charlestown Township near Phnixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania. We take great
care to grow the best possible produce and pick it at the peak of ripeness.
We offer our produce to members of our CSA, shoppers at the Phnixville Farmers' Market, and
selected local restaurants.
Charlestown Cooperative Farm is a CSA, a Community Supported Agricultural farm. The Andersen
Family established the farm in 2001 on 40 acres purchased from the Fisher Family in an effort to
preserve the beautiful site in scenic Charlestown Township, provide the community with fresh local
produce, and encourage the establishment of a network of sustainable farms in the Phnixville area.
Charlestown Cooperative Farm offers a complete variety of vegetables, flowers, and herbs to its
members from June through November. Bourbon Red heritage turkeys are available to members
during Thanksgiving. As a member you would pick up vegetables once a week at the farm from
June through November. It's about 22-24 weeks, depending on the late or early frost in the fall. In
the barn there is a blackboard that lists all the pickups for that day and the U-pick items as well.
The share usually includes about 12-16 different items in quantities for a family of four (2 adults and
2 children). The U-pick items may have some limits but are available for you to pick that day or any
other time during the week and half days on Saturdays. U-pick items include beans, peas, flowers,
herbs, cherry tomats, paste tomats, soybeans, hot peppers, strawberries and raspberries as they
come in season. Wonderfully fresh vegetables are hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, affording
the best taste and highest nutritional content.

Clodhopper Farm is a small family owned farm, located in Springville, Susquehanna County,
Pennsylvania. We have been farming here since August of 1996. The farm consists of 48 owned
acres and 32 rented acres, most of which produce an abundant crop of a large variety of grasses.
This grass is excellent for raising high quality meats. We currently offer grass fed beef, all natural
pork, and pasture-raised chicken, turkey and eggs.
We believe that our mission as farmers is to provide the highest quality farm products possible while
being good stewards of the land. We use only farming practices that we believe will improve the

land. Another important aspect of our farm is the humane treatment of our animals. We feel that
livestock should be raised in low stress surroundings in which their needs are met and they are
allowed to grow in a natural environment. The pigs can root, the chickens can scratch and the cows
can graze.
Common Grounds Farm was 'born' 2003 after many years of planning and research. I want to offer
only 'Healthy Foods'. We will sell only organically grown fruits and vegetables nurtured for the
promotion of good health. We hope to educate our friends about the trusted healthy alternatives to
the "Factory Farm Foods", and show how our foods will surpass in quality and taste.
Also beginning this year I am hoping to start growing talapia and striped bass in our pond, for a
'fresh' alternative.
Common Ground Organic Farm produces nutritious organic lamb, chicken, turkey, eggs and
vegetables. Our Jacob and Finn sheep, angora goats and llama produce wool for sale. We are
dedicated to the land, nurturing the soil, and acting as responsible stewards in our relationship with
the earth and what it can provide.
Common Ground has 82 acres in the Appalachian Mountains of Central Pennsylvania, including
mountainside pastures and natural wooded areas.
We work hard to build healthy soil, which is the foundation of our organic system. Cover crops,
compost, mowing, rotation among livestock species and natural habitat form the basis of our pasture
system. We do not use synthetic fertilizers.
Lambs are raised on 100% certified organic pasture and hay. They receive no grain and have
access to pasture 24 hours a day, all year long. Turkeys and chickens sold as broilers are raised on
free-range pasture. Hens producing eggs are on free-range pasture or in a large portable pen. In
addition to pasture, all poultry eat 100% certified organic whole and ground grains. They also eat a
lot of leftover organic vegetables! No antibiotics, parasite medications or hormones are used.

Country Lane Poultry is a small 13-acre organic farmette, nestled in the heart of Lancaster County's
Amish farmland. We, Norman and Donna Stoltzfoos, along with our six children, own and operate
this small parcel of ground the Lord has blessed us with.
Country Lane Poulty is a certified organic farm, raising free-range chickens for poulty and eggs. Ask

Our motto is: "Bringing the farmer back to the Farmers Market."
Country Time Farm is located on the mountainside of Hamburg, Pennsylvania where proprietors
Paul and Ember Crivellaro run the farm. The Crivellaro family has been farming since the 1900s,
originally as diary farmers in Easton, Pennsylvania. However, in 1980 the Crivellaros decided they
needed to enter a new market and converted the dairy farm into a hog farm. Then, in 1989, Paul
and Ember Crivellaro needed to expand the farm, so they moved a few miles west to Hamburg.
There they purchased 55 acres of land and updated and expanded their hog farm.
The Crivellaros saw an opportunity in the growing market of health foods and began raising
chemical free hogs. Paul and Ember solely maintain and run the entire farm. They take special pride
in their hogs, treating them as if they were their children. This is essential in providing the highest
quality of pork imaginable. Today, Country Time Farm provides the top restaurants in Philadelphia
with incredibly healthy and great tasting pork, including some heritage breeds.

Dawson's Orchards has always been a family owned business and It is our mission to provide you
with the highest quality produce as well as outstanding service.
Located in rural Enon Valley, PA, it was established back in 1946 when George and Janet Dawson
purchased around 45 acres of land from George's parents and planted some of the first fruit trees.
Throughout the 1960's, George and Janet raised both fruit and chickens. Eventually, the “chicken
house” became the “packing house”, which is where all the fruit is packed today.
At present, about 30 of the acres owned are actually farmed. Most of that acreage is taken up by
apples, with about 2 acres of pear trees, 5 of peaches and nectarines, and an assortment of berries
and prune plums. Dawson's Orchards also brokers watermelon and packs apples for wholesale
trade.
Janet still constantly works outside during spring, summer and fall. Having spent most of her life on
the farm, growing and selling fruit, she's well aware of what needs done and very willing to do it.
Deep Springs Farm raises egg-layers and broilers on pasture. Our happy chickens are outside as

dressed birds are $2.50/pound. Or stop by our stand at the Indian Valley Farmers Market in Telford,

Eberly Poultry is free-range raised on small Amish and Mennonite family farms in the heart of
Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Eberly's poultry is hand processed in a low volume environment; this
enhances the quality taste of our birds. In our world of poultry raising, it is a balanced blend of family
farm tradition and advanced development of both poultry breeds and organically grown feed grains.
Our poultry breeds are selected because they grow better naturally.
We produce certified organic chickens and turkeys, as well as antibiotic-free cornish game hens and
roasters. Our organic chicken is conveniently available cut up in quick-frozen packages.
Eberly's poultry can be purchased from an outlet on the farm; store hours are Monday through

ErReR Hill Farms is located about 65 miles east of Pittsburgh, in beautiful Somerset County,
Pennsylvania. The original name of the farm was Oak Springs Farm and was purchased in 1946 by
Eugene Riggs and his son Sidney W. Riggs. It was operated as a small dairy farm until 1957, when
the dairy cows were sold and the first Angus cows were purchased. It has been a continuous Angus
farm since that time.

pennsylvania guide: farmers
Photo of the Farm In 1972, after the passing of Sidney Riggs' brother, Dr. Robert E. Riggs, and in
memory of his father, Eugene Riggs, Sidney combined their initials and renamed the farm to ErReR
Hill Farms.
Like other farms, we raise various crops including hay, oats, and soybeans. Once harvested these
products are used to feed our livestock.
The farm currently operates a Specialty Shop where genuine ostrich leather productsand other
unique gift items are sold. Angus auctions are held at the farm twice a year and ErReR Hill Farms
has become a well- known and established breeder of Black Angus bulls and heifers. After the
passing of Sidney Riggs in September of 2006, his sons Bill and Dan took over the management of
the farm. Bob Hay, Sidney's nephew, runs the day to day operations
We sell leg of lamb, stew meat, ground lamb and other cuts of lamb by the pound. Our sheep are all
pasture raised. Animals raised on well-managed pastures are better for your health, better for their
health, better for the environment and they taste better too!
We raise registared Katahdin sheep and we do offer breeding stock for sale as well. Katahdin sheep
have a milder flavor and are less greasy because they do not grow wool- they grow hair and so they
do not produce as many oils as a wool breed of sheep.

Our Farming Methods: We practice sustainable conservation farming to provide the best possible
fresh produce to our customers. The key focus in our fields is to use the No-Till farming method
along with cover crops and crop rotation. In No-Till farming the soil is not tilled with any kind of plow
or tiller. We harvest our crops and immediately plant a cover crop to protect the soil over the winter
and capture and hold nutrients for the next season's crop. We plant the cover crop either by
broadcasting the seed on the soil surface or using a no-till seed drill to place the seeds in the ground
with little soil disturbance. The following spring we spray the cover crop with Round up to stop it's
growth and then plant our crops in the dead cover crop with a planter that only cuts a slice in the
soil, drops the seed and closes the slot back up. The goal on our fields is to always have a living
and growing crop in them. The benefits of no-tilling and cover crops is that there is little if any soil
erosion, the soil has more microbes and earthworms, it holds moisture longer in dry spells and is
more the way soils are in nature. There are no plows in nature unless you consider an earthworm a
plow, which we have TONS of now that we have been no-tilling for 7 years. When you plow the
crop residue under you bury the earthworms food, by leaving the crop residue and cover crops on
the soils surface you are providing a food for the earthworm and in return they are making new soil
for us and their channels which we have measured to go down nearly THREE feet provide our crops

a easy path to the most important thing in the summer's heat, WATER. In 2008 all 20 acres of our
sweet corn was planted using no-till and I was very pleased with its ability to handle the drought
stress this summer. All 5 acres of my pumpkins were planted into rye that was nearly 6 feet tall and
rolled down flat in May and in June I planted my pumpkins directly into the thick straw mat of rye
which helped to control weed and most importantly held moisture in the very dry periods in July and
August.

Jon and Beth Weaver-Kreider own and operate Goldfinch Farm, near
Wrightsville, York County, Pa. Although our land is not currently certified
organic, we grow a wide variety of vegetables following strict organic
standards. Our produce is sold through our CSA (Community Supported
Agriculture) in which customers become members of the farm for the
season by joining and paying at the beginning of the season, and then
coming to the farm or to one of our Lancaster pick-up sites each week to
receive their share of vegetables.
The season runs from June through early November, about 22-23 weeks.
There are typically 8-12 different items in the share each week, with the
contents varying according to what is in season. CSA members can also
pick their own flowers and herbs.
Chris began wholesaling vegetables and flowers through auctions and stores. While successful, he
felt the real goal should be selling his crops directly to the consumer. His small roadside stand soon
grew much bigger. With the help of his wife Cindy, Good Harvest Farms continued to grow and they
eventually joined with the Lancaster County Farmer's Market. The business has grown 10-fold since
1990 - mainly because Chris listens to what his customers want, and that's the freshest fruits and
vegetables available. In 2000, Good Harvest Farms added hydroponic lettuce and herbs to the mix.
The only way to get fresher produce is to grow it in your own back yard.
"Being Fresh is our Business," and we will continue to grow what our customers want.

Green Meadow Farm is located on the eastern boundary of Lancaster County near the town of Gap,
Pennsylvania. The business, originally Spring Grove Farm at a former location, was started in 1981
by Glenn Brendle and now comprises 6 acres of gardens and 4200 sq. ft. of greenhouses. The
focus is on growing specialty herbs and vegetables for restaurants in Philadelphia and Lancaster.
Green Meadow uses its own growing method which we call minimum impact farming and includes
methods borrowed from organic and sustainable practices. The main focus is on appropriate
technology with lowest impact inputs. Current projects include working toward heating and
electrically powering the farm and its vehicles using waste vegetable oil from the customer
restaurants. The heating portion of the project has been running since 2001 and the electrical
generator is soon to come on line. One vehicle has been converted to WVO fuel and more are
planned. Other projects include a recent grant through the Fair Food Project for fencing several
wooded acres to raise pigs in an arboreal system. Fertility inputs include on-site composting of
neighborhood manures and waste hay. Cover cropping includes use of brassicas for harvest and
weed suppression as well as nematicides. Primary insect control is accomplished through IPM and
soap/vegetable oil emulsions.

Urban farming is taking root in the Pittsburgh region. There's a growing dedication to providing
healthy produce to area residents, increasing local food security, remediating the land, and teaching
youth about the benefits of sustainable living.
Grow Pittsburgh is proud to be at the center of it all by providing visibility and leadership for the
urban agriculture community.
We invite you to learn about our programs, our food and plant venues, and opportunities for
involvement. Also take the time to check out Community Initiatives and become acquainted with
what others are doing in our community.
The Hails family now owns 50 acres and farms a total of 450 acres. The cow herd consists of
Ayreshire, Normande, Jersey/Holstein cross, Jersey and Brown Swiss. The cows' feed program is
grass-based, meaning that their main diet is hay, baleage, silage, and pasture spring through late
fall. The cows are milked in a parlor and are intensively rotationally grazed spring through fall. The
cows enjoy being outside even in the winter.
The cows are fed a 16% mixed ration and each cow receives only 5-10 pounds of grain a day - even
less in the pasture months. Most conventional dairies feed their cows in excess of 40 pounds a day.
The grain is free of bone meal (animal parts) and BSTs (hormones that cause an animal to milk like
her lactation has just begun).
PRODUCTS
The cow milk is processed at the Grade A processing plant located on the Hails' farm. The milk is a
full-fat milk that ds not need to be "fortified with vitamins A and D" as the Hails' milk retains all of its
natural vitamins; the vitamins are not stripped out and then put back in with synthetic vitamins like so
many brands. This milk is of superior quality and received an excellent rating from The Cornucopia
Institute in Wisconsin.
The Hails' milk is not homogenized, nor is it ultra-pasteurized, making it the closest product to raw
milk you can get. You will notice the "cream on top" and it's delicious!
This excellent milk and feta cheese is shipped to This Land Is Your Land and is then distributed to
fine health food stores along the East coast, from Atlanta, Georgia to Newport, Rhode Island.

Half Acre Farm is a small hobby farm in State College, PA. It is amazing what you can do on half an
acre! We currently have a pack of Corgis, a flock of chickens, an apiary with 0-9 hives, depending
on how many survive the winter, 2 bunnies, 4 cats, and 1 toad.
We are proud, self admitted tree huggers who care about the environment and sustainability and
debate about the local versus organic dilemma (when you can't have both). We love our animals,
treat them all like family, and name them even when we shouldn't. Our goal is to keep all of the
animals happy and healthy, produce quality products, continue the constant remodeling and upkeep
of an old farmhouse, and not get too stressed in the process!

Run by partners Tom Colbaugh and Jean Nick, Happy Farm sits on 11 beautiful acres in Upper
Bucks County. The farm consists of both woods and pasture next to rolling farm lands. We are
currently featuring pasture raised fresh brown eggs layed by the Heritage breed Buff Orpington. In
July we will be offering a wide selection of Heritage breed layers and Moyer's [Quakertown, Pa]
brown layers.
Each of our hens has approximately 32 square feet of fresh pasture (new pasture every 4-5 days!)
on which to roam. This is why we took the name Happy Farm- we believe are animals are extremely
happy in the environment we provide. This is also why we believe our eggs are the most nutritious.
Speaking of nutrition, we are currently raising broilers on the same pastured system. They will be
available fresh throughout the summer and fall and we will have a limited number frozen as well.
In November we will have Turkeys available. This past spring we rented out pairs of chicks to the
local area. We rented interested folks a pair of chicks, food and bedding supplies and a box to put
them in for two weeks along with naming rights.
Come visit the farm anytime, we have ducks, a rabbit and we almost always have baby chicks to
see. Just give us a call to let us know when you are coming.

market opens for 2010 on July 14. Matt Severson, who has gained a following for his baked goods,
is now at the stand next to us on Mondays.
We grow varieties for the best taste and color, not because they ship well. We're always trialing new
varieties, but the old heirlooms are a particular favorite. Since I start tomato plants from seed in a
passive solar greenhouse, I can grow tomats like Brandywine, Orange Banana, Black Krim, and
Green Zebra. I also grow rows of the favorite cherry (Sunsugar/Sungold) and every year try a few
new types. Our other specialties are salad mix and a variety of greens all year, and baby summer
squash in all colors and shapes. And of course there are the cut sunflowers and the wheatgrass.
The vegetables being a bit late in Susquehanna County, we often have a wide assortment of potted
herbs and container plants early in the year. They get pushed off the truck as more vegetables and
flowers mature, or once they're too big to carry around! We'll have sprouts (lentils, wheatgrass, pea
shoots), potted herbs, flowers, foliage plants and sometimes landscaping shrubs.
As always, Geof and I welcome your suggestions, brochure requests, and offers to weed.

Heather Ridge Creamery is located in beautiful Tioga County, near the Pennsylvania Grand
Canyon. Our small family farm makes cheese from the milk of our 30 prize-winning Holstein and
Jersey cows. As today's farms become large commercial operations, we looked for a way to keep a
small farm where our animals could receive the best of care, and we could have the satisfaction of
bringing a quality dairy product direct from our family to yours.
At our farm, clean, comfortable cows are fed a diet of the best hay and grain Jim can find. Because
of the special care our cows receive, we rarely have any sick animals. However, because of the
significant value of some of these animals, we do on occasion use antibiotics to ensure their
complete recovery if they become ill. For this reason we are not considered a true organic farm.
However, the milk from any animal receiving antibiotics is discarded until she is tested, and found to
be free of all antibiotic residues. We also do not use any pesticides or herbicides on our pastures.
Our cows do not receive RBST or growth hormones. They graze the quiet pastures on our farm and
lounge under the fans if they get too hot. What a life!
We believe the final product is only as good as what gs into it. Our 20 varieties of raw milk cheeses
are made from only high quality milk, salt, cultures and enzymes. Their taste will reflect the quality
and care that gs into all we do. No factories here!
Heather Ridge Farm & Creamery invites you to visit our farm and discover for yourself a real,

When Heritage Farm was started in 1991, it consisted of two acres of fruits and vegetables. In 1995,
the farm expanded to 27 acres and included beef, pork and laying hens. By 2000, the farm
expanded to its current size of 77 acres and includes all of the enterprises listed above. We are a
sustainable, family operation on the Alleghany plateau of north central Pennsylvania. The area is
absolutely beautiful and very rural, remote even by modern standards.
Our specialties include early season tomats, cantaloupes, watermelons, apples, peaches, pasture
raised chicken (for meat and eggs), grass fed beef and pork. All products are raised in as natural
and environmentally friendly ways as possible. We are entirely a family operation and believe
strongly in the goals of small scale and sustainable agriculture.
The owners of Highspire Hills Farm (Duane and Deborah) pride themselves on producing high
quality jumbo, large and extra large brown eggs for home and specialty restaurant use. Chickens
are treated humanely, arriving as day old chicks, and given a safe place to live through their laying
years. Locally grown and ground layer mash is supplemented with fresh organic fruit and vegetables
year-round. They are free to roam a spacious chicken hotel with plenty of fresh air and sun shine.
We have also recently started chicks on chick starter from Organic Unlimited and expect to be
producing organic eggs by mid-2010. Please call for availability.

Gary & B.J. Schuler purchased Hillside Farms from B.J.'s mother in 1990. The farm had been in the
family since B.J.'s grandfather purchased it in the early 1940's. B.J's father had farmed it, raising
Black Angus cattle and crops until he passed away in 1988. Not wanting to keep the farm herself,
B.J.'s mother started negotiations with a developer who wanted to turn the farm into a nine lot
subdivision. The sale unexpectedly fell through leaving B.J.'s mother out in the cold. Gary & B.J.
stepped in and bought the farm.
Their first attempt at farming was with seedling trees which died the first winter when mice chewed
up the roots. The second winter Gary read about buffalo and went to visit a local buffalo farmer. He
was hooked on the majestic animals. They purchased seven heifer calves in 1992 and a bull in
1993. Their first calf crop came in 1994.
Our farm is run by our family, Paul and Joyce Hails and their four children. We are blessed to be
caretakers of the farm. Our children have always been home-schooled and each one is an integral
part of the day-to-day operations. Each one has his or her own area of "expertise" and responsibility.
Their classroom is not only their school desk but also with the animals, out in the pastures or
gardens, on the tractor, unloading hay, collecting eggs, feeding animals, helping deliver a newborn
goat, riding horses--the possibilities are endless! We are so thankful for the many opportunities we
have to learn about animals and the nature around us. We strive for high quality goat's milk and
cheese. All of our cheeses are made on the farm with many varieties available. We also make
creamy delicious goat milk fudge. A new product this year is kefir, which is a cultured milk drink,
similar to the taste of buttermilk. Kefir is high in beneficial enzymes to give you a "boost" and also
provides healthy bacteria for the digestive tract. We also make some cow's milk cheeses.
His Kids Dairy raises its animals with the purest natural feeds (without growth hormones /
antibiotics) and also provides green pasture. The goats provide for us delicious milk from which
flavorful cheeses and creamy fudge are made. Dairy products are available at the farm; please call

Our cows are raised in a humane and healthy way. They are not confined to a barn, instead they are
allowed to graze freely on lush pastures. We do not use rBST on our cows and we do not dock their
tails. We have not used any herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers on our farm in twenty-five
years. We use organic practices on our farm but we are not certified organic since we purchase
some feed locally.
In February 2001 we started making aged raw milk cheeses in our small, licensed on-farm cheese
plant. In February 2006 we added a pasteurizer and started making fresh products such as ricotta,
soft cheese, and yogurt. All our cheeses are hand made using traditional, time-honored methods.
We use only fresh milk, live cultures, and calf rennet. Our ricotta, quark, and yogurt are made
without rennet. Since our cows are fed their natural diet of grass and hay our cheese is a natural
creamy yellow color. As the seasons change the color of the cheese will vary depending on how
much fresh grass our cows consume.

quality. We feel we give our customers both. And more.

Landisdale Farm is a family owned and operated certified organic farm. We focus on healthy soils,
healthy plants, and we are sure the result is healthy food for you and your family. We have been
growing certified organic produce since 1998. (certified by Pennsylvania Certified Organic)
We invite you to enjoy our home-grown vegetables either through our Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) program, the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market, the Clark Park Farmers Market, The
Glenside Farmers Market, or the Swarthmore Farmers Market.
We maintain our fields with rich natural soil builders. We rotate our crops from season to season.
We add compost for moisture absorption and fertilization. Compost also keeps the soil from
compaction allowing the plant root to breath and obtain the nutrients the soil holds.
Here on our farm in Lebanon County we raise a full line of certified organic vegetables. Sign up in
the spring for our CSA program. This runs for 22 weeks from June to November. For pick-up
locations please go to our website. Grass-fed beef is available at our farm by the quarter or by the

sustainable enterprises that encourage creativity is our passion. Building blocks include grass,
vegetables, grass eating animals and birds and hungry persons who appreciate wholesome food.
Our animal and vegetable offerings are Beyond Organic. We were certified organic for over 15 years
beginning in the early '90s helping to develop the Certified Organic label in Pennsylvania as charter
members of Pennsylvania Certified Organic. Since then our focus on "Green Everyday" Beef has
taken us above and beyond organic certification standards. Since most of our customers are private
individuals who know us and our farming practices well, a third party inspection process seemed
unnecessary. We welcome your visit for personal verification of our Beyond Organic practices!
Livengood vegetables and meats are offered at four Philadelphia farmers markets as well as direct
from the farm. We encourage a call before stopping by the farm as a full time farm stand is still in the
dream phase.
Our cattle help retired farmers and landowners keep their beautiful landscape in farming. If you live
nearby, we expect you to stop by to meet our family and see how living on the edge of farmland loss
is possible with your help.
We've also experienced raising meat birds on grass and have found the results delightful! We will be
doing more broilers this season.

My processors package your beef to your satisfaction and freeze it for your convenience. Our beef is
raised and handled according to the PA Beef Quality Assurance Standards. We also belong to many
local, state, and national cattle and farm organizations. Raising quality hay and cattle products is
very important to me. I operate my farm with pride and excellence. I hope to hear from you

M&B Farview Farm welcomes you to call, email or make an appointment to stop by and visit our
unique farm in Hamburg, PA. We are always glad to hear from our customers.
Farm Description:
We are located in scenic Licking Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. We started farming in
1999 and became certified organic in 2001; we did not renew our certification in 2005 and will be
applying to Certified Naturally Grown in 2006. Our farm encompasses 95 acres; about 3 acres are in
vegetable production while the balance is in hay, pasture and woodland. We grow a wide variety of
open-pollinated vegetables and herbs, most of them heirlooms. Diversity is one of the primary keys
to a healthy ecosystem, and over the last 7 years we have seen first-hand the results of focusing on
diversity and building a healthy soil foundation in the quality of our crops.
Practices:
Our produce is grown on a 3-year rotation cycle, in 4-foot wide crop rows interspersed with sod
strips. Crops are mulched with hay or interseeded with companion crops. This method allows for
weed control and soil erosion protection, as well as the growth of beneficial plants within the sod
strips. We have a natural wetland area that is home to a variety of plant and animal species.
What We Grow:
Our focus is on heirloom varieties of produce; everything we grow is open-pollinated. We try to grow
several varieties of each type of vegetable, and in 2006 we will be growing more than 25 kinds of
hot peppers and more than 10 kinds of tomats in addition to many other items. We also grow several
types of culinary herbs and 4 varieties of raspberries. In 2004 we started a small heirloom orchard.
We are also at the Clarion County Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings, 8:30 to Noon from May
13 to October 28, 2006. The market is located in Memorial Park, on Main Street across from the
courthouse in Clarion, PA.
INTERNS WANTED!
In 2006 we are starting an intern program. Interns will assist with all aspect of our operation, from
growing produce and maintaining the garden, to operating the CSA and attending the Farmers'
Market. Our Interns will gain experience in vegetable production, customer service, marketing and
display design. We will provide rustic housing with access to kitchen, bath and laundry, fresh
produce and a stipend based on Farmers' Market sales.

We raise registered Dorset sheep on our 225 acre family farm that includes 75 acres of pasture. The
lambs we market are young and fresh off the farm.
Martin's Twin Brook Farm is a small all natural farm in south central Pennsylvania. We raise Scotch
Highland cross cattle for beef. We feed only pasture grass, hay, and a mineralized salt block. No
antibiotics nor hormones are used. We use no chemical fertilizers nor herbicides on the pasture.
Beef is sold by the mixed quarter and must be picked up at a local butcher, usually in July or
October. Supply is very limited. We will take your name and call you for order confirmation a few
weeks before the beef is ready to be picked up.
We also have very limited quantities of emu meat from free-range emus raised on the same
pastures described above. No antibiotics nor hormones are used. Emu meat is a red meat that looks
and tastes very much like beef, is high in iron, and has about the same fat content as turkey. We sell
emu by the half or whole bird. A whole bird usually yields 50 to 80 pounds of meat with no bones.
Very limited quantities of fertile, free-range brown chicken eggs (no hormones nor antibiotics) are
also available from the same pastures used by the cattle and emus.

Meadow Run Farm is located in scenic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, producing pastured
chicken and turkey, grass-fed beef and lamb, and pastured pork from heritage breed pigs. Our
agricultural practices emphasize sustainability, our foremost concern being to build natural soil
fertility and health by enhancing the humus content in our fields. To this end we 'employ' our animals
in harvesting grass and legumes. The benefits from a grass-based diet to livestock health and
happiness are well known, as are the health benefits to the consumer eating animals raised this
way. Meat and eggs can be purchased directly from our small on-farm store, or email us through this
website to place an order, ask questions or request a price list. To order directly online or view our

the heart of southeastern Chester County. The farm is run by Barbara and Thomas, two large
animal veterinarians and their daughters. Max, the Bernese Mountain Dog, 8 cats, chickens,

sheep dairy with East Friesland and Lacaune milksheep, following old-world cheese making
practices. The 25 plus colonies of honeybees produce honey, pollen, propolis and beeswax. We
consider it a privilege to carry on the tradition of farming at Meadowset Farm. By practicing
sustainability we strive not only to be good farmers, but also to become stewards of the land for
those who will farm here after us. "OUR LAND IS NOT A GIFT FROM OUR PARENTS, BUT A
LOAN FROM OUR CHILDREN."
We are a collaborative of farmers from the greater Meadville area who gather twice a week to sell

The Millers graze the production crew - cows, pigs and chickens - on green pastures during the
summer. In the winter months they supplement their grazing with certified organic alfalfa and grass
mixed with hay. No animal byproducts or antibiotics are added. These hardy animals and poultry

Misty Morning Farm consists of 127 acres located between Hillsdale and Cherry Tree, Indiana
County, Pa. and has been owned by John and Judith Hollway for approximately nine years. The
farm consists of a typical old farm house, a late model single level, a 14,000 square foot barn, a
small green house and other small outbuildings in a beautiful setting, and is a registered wildlife
refuge.
Because the organization is a non profit corporation it is conceivable and possible that the cost of
product could be lower than originally stated. The amount of participation and assistance rendered
by members could also lower or hold down cost of operation which could also reduce pricing.
Because Misty Morning Farm is an instructional/educational farm some social events will be held
from time to time which should prove to be fun as well as informative.
Because the higher costs of organic food is rapidly causing some levels of the population to be
excluded from the "good -for-you-foods" , we are fast becoming a nation of good (pure) food for the
"haves" and poor quality contaminated/chemically tainted food for the "have nots". Our approach,
via the non-profit concept, is an attempt to bridge the gap and see all natural foods available to a
larger portion of our society.

amber and amber in color, (from Linden and Tulip Poplar trees) all embody a natural delicate flavor
that will delight your taste buds!

Natural Dairy Products Corporation (NDP) was started in 1994 by Ned MacArthur and his father
Norman. Ned quit milking cows a year earlier because of low milk prices and the frustration that
there was no system by which farmers could sell milk organically.
Ned and Norman teamed up with four organic dairy farmers in Lancaster County, PA and created a
whole system in which grass-fed organic milk could be produced, transported, processed and
packaged, independent of the huge, volume based milk industry. Strict adherence to organic
principles and a dedication to high quality were the rules, which Ned, Norman and the farmers
demanded of each other.

Cows are meant to eat grass, not grain. Pastured cows are healthier and less stressed. At NDP, we
strive to make fresh pasture the main diet for our cows. Our farmers own and operate small family
farms in Lancaster County, PA.
The milk from grass-fed cows contains higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) than that of
cows fed grain. CLA is an Omega 6 Fatty Acid, which studies have shown, helps in disease
protection. Grass-fed milk naturally contains higher levels of Beta-carotene, Vitamin A, and Vitamin
E because grass itself contains more of these nutrients than grain. Consuming grass-fed dairy

Nature's Sunlight Farm is a small family farm producing a wide range of grass-fed, pasture-based
products. While not certified organic, the farm strictly observes organic standards.
Dairy products include raw milk, raw milk cheeses (cheddar, havarti, and several more), butter, kefir,
yogurt, buttermilk, and creme fresh.
The beef comes from cattle that are sourced as yearlings from a neighboring organic farm. Once
they arrive at Nature's Sunlight Farm they are put out on pasture and grass-fed until they're
processed and sold by the cut, ½, or whole. Pork is sold by the ½ or whole and lamb is available
by the cut.
All products are sold from the farm and at the Carlisle Farmers' Market.

Jim and Moie Kimball Crawford own and operate New Morning Farm, a 95-acre certified-organic
vegetable farm in south-central Pennsylvania. The Crawfords have farmed organically for over 30
years.
New Morning Farm now produces approximately 40 different crops, all certified organic. Crops
include berries and herbs in addition to most standard garden vegetables. The farm employs,
besides the family, one or two year-round helpers and approximately 15 seasonal workers and
apprentices. The farming apprenticeship program is well-developed and has helped a number of
aspiring growers to get started in farming.
Over the years, the Crawfords have built a many-faceted, successful direct-marketing system. They
started and operated a roadside stand in years past. They have organized two now-well-established
farmers markets and helped found a wholesale marketing cooperative with a group of growers -
Tuscarora Organic Growers. New Morning Farm markets (both wholesale and retail) various
locally-produced foods year-round in addition to its own produce.
Northern Tier specializes in grass fed and grass based beef products. We also create a line of
mountain meals from chili's, stews and our new famous Mountain Dogs. Our farmers are all
committed to a healthy planet and happy customers. You will find that rugged foods come from our
rugged landscape!
Northwest PA Growers Cooperative is a group of farms in Butler, Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence

use. The cooperative sells farm products through an on-line Winter Market Buying Club from
Nov-April. Our new multi-farm CSA will have drop-off locations in Slippery Rock, Grove City,
Franklin and Crawford / Erie, starting June 2009. Member farms also sell at Farmers Markets
throughout the region, including Slippery Rock, Grove City, Pittsburgh, Erie, Meadville.
The 16 member farms of the cooperative use a erse range of natural, sustainable methods to raise
vegetables, fruits and livestock. These methods range from Certified Organic and Certified Naturally

We sell raw milk from the farm, grass-based beef, and eggs from pastured poultry. We make our
raw milk into 10 varieties of cheese. Our cheese is not another push button cheese. Each vat is
filled slowly, using a stainless steel pipeline direct from the milking area as the cows are being
milked. Cultures are then carefully added and the milk is gently stirred by hand, not beaten by
stainless steel paddles. After the right amount of time, rennet is added following the age old tradition
of making great farmstead cheese. After coagulation, the curds are quickly cut, allowed to rest and
heal, and then gently stirred by hand. The curds are eventually packed into molds and pressed by
hanging weights for the allotted time. Cheeses are then aged in one of our climate-controlled cellars,
on locally grown sugar maple shelving. Instead of suffocating them in plastic, they grow a natural
rind that gives additional character and flavor to the cheese. At just the right time, we remove them,
package them, and sell them to discriminating customers. Welcome to the taste and quality of true
farmstead artisan cheese! We hope you enjoy our cheese as much as we enjoy making it!

Owens Farm is owned and operated by David and Caroline Owens with their three children Kyle,
Kevin, and Melissa. The farm boasts 112 acres of rolling pasture, with lovely views in all directions.
A traditional red Pennsylvania Bank barn, pond, and classic white farmhouse complete the picture.
Owens Farm started on 13 acres in New Hampshire. The family raised livestock for their own needs,
tending their animals in a natural setting and avoiding chemicals and growth stimulants. It was only
a matter of time before neighbors approached them, asking if they could raise and sell some extra
animals. People were learning about the pitfalls of industrial agriculture, and seeking pasture-raised
meat for their families. A business was born. By 2007, the Owens family was ready for a larger
farm. A two-year search led to the state of Pennsylvania and the town of Sunbury.
Caroline is a former Vocational Agriculture teacher who worked in marketing communications and
the equestrian travel business before starting her family. She holds a B.S. in Animal
Science/Agricultural Education from Cornell University and an M.B.A. from Boston University.
David is an engineer now running his own database and software consulting business. He earned
his B.S. in Engineering from the University of Lowell and a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from
Boston University.

for eggs and meat and a family milk cow. During these early years we came to realize that there is

Note: We are no longer OCIA Certified Organic. We were for many years, but because of the extra
expenses involved in being certified organic, we dropped our certification, and the last certification
we had expired at the end of November, 2008.
Instead of being "Certified Organic," in the Summer of 2008 we switched to "Certified Naturally
Grown (CNG)," which is a grassroots alternative to being certified organic. It is much more
reasonably priced for small farms like ours. The way we grow our crops hasn't changed though, and
we still grow our crops organically and to the highest possible standards.
Our "Certified Naturally Grown" certification is current and we will gladly show you our certificate
upon request.

Our season usually begins around the last week of May. After that, once a week for 22 weeks you
come to our farm on the evening you chose at the onset of the season. You pick out your
share—the portion of the harvest that you receive weekly.
There are three different sizes of shares available this year. Whole shares feed four omnivores or
two vegetarians for about one week. They usually contain about 8-12 different items. Partial shares
feed two omnivores or one vegetarian for about one week. They usually contain 5-9 different items.
Sampler shares can supplement home gardens or feed one person. Each week you will receive 4
or 5 different items.
Most of what comprises your share is determined by what is in ready to eat that week, and how
much of it we pick for you. We think that ds not give members enough control over menu planning
for the week. This year we will implement a “your choice table” where you may select a certain
number of the any of the items there. It will usually be comprised of the more odd things and not the
favorites, that everyone begs for like carrots and lettuce. For example, we have two bundles of
yard-long beans that we are trialing, some chard, some escarole, extra tomats, okra, and an edible
weed. You can pick two of those to be included in your share that week. Each week the amounts

http://farmschoolatsnipes.org
At Snipes Farm, all vegetables and berries are grown using organic farming methods; no pesticides
used.
The Farm School at Snipes' mission is to model and teach sustainable farming, while building
community and reconnecting people to the land. Founded in 2008, the Farm School's "outdoor
classroom" is located on 25 acres of the historic Snipes Farm in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Believing
in the power of nature and community to heal and teach, the present generation of the Snipes
family, the 11th to farm in Lower Bucks County, has offered the use of its land for the establishment
of a not-for-profit educational resource: The Farm School at Snipes. The Farm School envisions a
world where everyone has access to healthy food, open space and the experience of farming,
where local economies are strengthened by the preservation of small farms, and where priority is
given to sustaining the earth and its natural resources.
Srgel Orchards is a family farm, market & bakery, garden center, and wine shop. Srgel's offers
nationally known brand name products as well as locally produced items.
Over the past several years, a new approach to farming has emerged. One that is grounded in local
food systems and has a close connection to the consumer. One that is crafted around ecological
processes and minimal capital investment. One that uses highly sophisticated rotational planting
patterns to raise yields, reduce pest pressure, and build soil fertility.
And it is happening right here at Somerton Tanks Farm, a demonstration urban farm which is
pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional agriculture and taking it to places where conventional
Page 144
pennsylvania guide: farmers
wisdom says fruits and vegetables do not belong. In its fourth year of operation, using the SPIN
Farming method, we produced over $68,000 in gross sales growing high value vegetables on a
half-acre—in Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the U.S. By pushing the physical and philosophical
boundaries of agriculture, it is achieving a level of productivity and financial success that many
thought impossible. And it's getting others to view the role of agriculture—where and how it is
practiced—differently.

Star Hollow Farm is a small-scale family vegetable farm located in south-central Pennsylvania, 100
miles north of Washington, DC, in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. We grow a wide range of
produce, mostly in small quantities, on about 15 or so acres of crop ground. Potats are our single
largest crop. The vegetables are grown side-by-side as well as in rotation with grass and legume
cover crops to improve and fertilize the soil and lessen insect and disease pressure, as well as
prevent runoff.
Each year we raise a flock of 100 or so laying hens that are sheltered in a cage-free house with free
access to a quarter-acre pasture. We also raise log-grown shiitake and oyster mushrooms in part of
our 40 acres of woods.
For the past 18 years we have been certified organic, but dropped our certification as of the end of
2009, due primarily to the ever-increasing cost of certification. We still farm the same, but can no
longer call ourselves an organic farm. We sell more than half of our produce over the web, through
our ONLINE FARMERS MARKET & CSA, and the rest at the Adams Morgan Farmers Market in
Washington, DC. At both our outdoor market and online we sell local vegetables and herbs from our

animal, which amounts to ~40 lb box. This 40 lb box of beef has about 8-9 lbs of steaks (approx 2
NY Strips, 2 Fillet Mignons, 1 Sirloin, a few Short ribs, and 2 Delmonicos), about 6-9 lbs of roasts
(chuck, rump or top round) and the balance of the tastiest lean ground beef you have ever had in ~1

Each and every year, the dream get's bigger and better too! Right now we are operating a farm that
you can bring your kids to and teach them to pick right along with you! It's a place that we feel can
be so educational, and so relaxing at the same time! It's a safe haven to take the little ones. We
only ask that each small child have someone to accompany them while picking so nothing get's
accidentally stepped on in all the excitement! (We know kids and understand accidents, we just like
to prevent as many as we can, for you and us alike=)
Oh, and there are lot's of Elk around us, so don't forget your camera if you do stop by for a visit. You
just might get a good shot. They like to visit quite frequently in the Spring and Fall.
We practice safety and love to see the kids learning where their food comes from. It's great to see!

Our beef is distinguished from beef you can buy at the supermarket by what we do not put in it, and
what we do put in it. We do not feed or implant our steers with hormones to accelerate their growth
like the beef you buy in the supermarkets.
As a result, our grain-fed steers require one to two more months to fatten than supermarket steers
before they reach butchering weight. Nor do we give our steers antibiotics in their feed (or any other
way) to keep them healthy the way mass cattle producers do. Instead, we rely on natural foods,
clean barns, lush pastures and time to keep our steers healthy and growing.
We can make these guarantees because we control all aspects of the production cycle. Since 1995
we have run a small-scale cow and calving operation that yields about 100 to 120 calves each year.
During their first summer, the calves roam free on Tussock Sedge's green pastures with their
Page 155

mothers. Each year we fatten the grown steers on our farm using corn, hay, and silage, most of
which is grown on our farm. The steers are butchered and packaged at local specialty shops and we
sell the meat directly to local customers.
Nursery: We are pleased to offer a wide selection of vigorous northern grown nursery stock. Nursery
stock is double tagged with vinyl loc tags and "show and sell" picture tags if available. Each is potted
with a time release starter fertilizer in organically composted soil media. Fruit trees, shade and
ornamental trees, evergreens, shrubs, vines and perennials are available at great prices.

Local, pasture fed raw milk; cheese; produce and prepared foods. The farm is a starting model for
food production with fewer greenhouse gas emissions and waste. The dairy cows are managed by
the owner/veterinarian who knows how to keep the cows healthy with the least invasive
management techniques and less impact on the environment. There is a dairy store on-site.
Prepared foods from Chef David Hentz of Philadelphia. Made with our ingredients, you will love our
delicious selections! We anticipate our move to solar electricity, and meanwhile renew, re-use and
recycle. Please visit! See website for more details.
We are a grass-fed dairy farm in western Pennsylvania. We milk 70 jerseys, ayrshires, and crosses
seasonally, feeding only grass, dry hay and baleage, in addition to supplemented molasses,
minerals and apple cider vinegar. We are in our final year transition towards organic certification
and trying to manage the farm as naturally as possible. This year, we have grass-fed steers for sale
by the half or whole, and we hope to become certified to sell raw milk in the future if there are
interested buyers in our area.

We are a small, family farm located near Newville, in south central Pennsylvania. We have concerns
Page 160
pennsylvania guide: farmers
about the health of our land, our family, and our customers. We do not use chemicals or hormones
on our farm. Working in harmony with nature is our rule. We are an all-grass based farm, which
means that our animals are raised on pasture. No Sunday sales.
You hear a lot about "grass-fed and pastured" meat products these days and maybe you are a little
confused. Sometimes it is hard to understand the difference between grass-fed and pastured. Is it
100% grass-fed? What is "pastured"?
Our pigs could be considered "grass-fed" because they do get a diet consisting of grass, but they
are not 100% grass-fed. We use the term "pastured" when referring to our pigs to help minimize
confusion. They do get the benefits of fresh air, sunshine and grass! Everything on the farm, from
babies and their mothers to those ready for market, get the advantages of being raised on pasture.
Here in Mercer County, PA we are fortunate to have reclaimed strip-mining ground to put into
production for our farming needs. Our sows love to munch on grass while they are waiting for their
grain and supplement rations.
We are working on building our pastures so the pigs can get more of their nutrition from grass which
will help in reducing the amount of grains used. If the Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E in grass-fed
beef increase, why not in our pork that has been raised on pasture! Even our farrowing and
nurseries get the benefits of the fresh air and sunshine. The mother's each have their own individual
huts in which they farrow. The babies stay with their mother's between 4-5 weeks until they are
placed in one of our portable "Little ones" out running around having a grand time! nursery units.
The pigs stay for 5-6 weeks before they are moved out to pasture fenced with electric. They spend
the rest of their days outside enjoying the natural environment that God created for them. Pigs
raised outdoors tend to stay healthier, not needing the low level antibiotics used in confinement
situations, which in turn ds lead to much lower stress levels.
All these: fresh air, sunshine, grass, exercise, no antibiotics and low stress, contribute to our Fresh
Air Pork being lean, yet delicious and flavorful! Our customers tell us that it tastes like pork should
and what the older generation remembers!
We do raise the real "natural pork"! Our pigs as you can see are raised in their natural environment,
not in a confinement system and then sent off to have the meat minimally processed so that they
may call it "natural pork". In a world where buzzwords are what is all about, we believe it is very
important to be on the same page with your customer. The best thing to do is to get to know the
farmer and their product!

At Wolf Lake Farm our passion is high quality, healthy food that brings back the old fashioned,
mouth-watering taste of a pasture-raised bird. We utilize holistic farming practices that enrich both
the soil and the lives of our animals. This enables us to preserve the tradition of a small farm
bringing fresh, wholesome food to its local community from a clean, safe and humane environment.
At Wolf Lake Farm we never use antibiotics, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, herbicides or
pesticides - period.
Our poultry are raised outdoors where they can enjoy clean air and sunshine. We use unique
bottomless field shelters that are moved daily allowing the birds to feast upon fresh grasses and
bugs.
In addition to this natural forage, they are fed a custom ground mix of local grains, probiotics,
vitamins and minerals to enhance and balance their diet. This method of raising pastured poultry
results in meat and eggs of superior flavor and nutrients that gs beyond "organic.
We have 100 Bison at this time. We hope to have well over 135 by the end of summer with all of
the new calves that will be born this spring and early summer. Small farms like ours are springing up
across America, preserving and ensuring the Buffalo's future and providing you, the American
public, with a healthy choice for an all-natural hormone and antibiotic-free red meat alternative.
If you buy naturally raised, grass fed Bison that is USDA federally inspected and handled properly,
buying radiated beef is not necessary unless you want to glow. Our Bison are processed under
Page 163
pennsylvania guide: farmers
USDA inspection at Grettler's Meats in Girard, PA professionally vacuumed-sealed and labeled for
proper freshness and appearance so you can see what you are buying.
There is also an onsite restaurant, Buffalo Grill, and retail shop, Wooden Nickel Gift Shop. The
Buffalo Grill offers a peaceful, casual family-dining experience down on the farm. The Grill features
healthy, farm-raised, all-natural Bison fare such as Bison Burgers, Bison Hotdogs, sausage, roast,
steak dinners, homemade pies and much more. Please note that everyone's free to try the bison
meat before they buy it.
Woodsong Hollow is nestled high in the forested Oley Hills. We raise pastured chicken, goat,
Thanksgiving turkeys, heritage pigs and grass-fed lamb. The meat is really tender and delicious, and
our customers tell us that the eggs are the best they have tasted!
Our livestock all have access to pasture and the supplemental feed the poultry and pigs receive is
grown by a local farmer without pesticides and herbicides.

our beef lean and tender, but it also has a rich flavor. To ensure that our beef maintains its best
flavor and has a long storage life, it is aged, vacuum packaged and flash frozen at our butcher.
We also make available to our customers the delicious flavor of the pastured pork that your
grandparents knew and loved. Our production is different from most other pig farms which gives our
pork that old fashioned taste. Our pigs are allowed to roam freely in our lush grass pastures,
socialize, and engage in instinctive pig behaviors such as rooting, wallowing, and foraging.
Workhorse Farms has been using sustainable farming practices since 1985. As a family, we don't
believe that things such as artificial fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, growth hormones or
unnecessary antibiotics belong in our food supply. That is why we don't use these things on our

Chris began wholesaling vegetables and flowers through auctions and stores. While successful, he
felt the real goal should be selling his crops directly to the consumer. His small roadside stand soon
grew much bigger. With the help of his wife Cindy, Good Harvest Farms continued to grow and they
eventually joined with the Lancaster County Farmer's Market. The business has grown 10-fold since
1990 - mainly because Chris listens to what his customers want, and that's the freshest fruits and
vegetables available. In 2000, Good Harvest Farms added hydroponic lettuce and herbs to the mix.
The only way to get fresher produce is to grow it in your own back yard.
"Being Fresh is our Business," and we will continue to grow what our customers want.

meat that is lean, firm, tender, delicate and pink, free of hormones, antibiotics, herbicides and
insecticides.
The Jamison's picturesque 210-acre farm produces some 5,000 lambs annually, which are destined
for great cooks at home and the finest chefs and restaurants in the world.
When you taste the chocolates from John & Kira's, you have two opportunities for personal
enjoyment. The first is to take pleasure in the amazingly delicious chocolates themselves. The
second is the opportunity to commune (through the palate) with the farmers and growers that create
our flavors. Our determination to use only the best natural ingredients for our chocolates has
allowed us to support farms from Pennsylvania to Sri Lanka. It is our hope that you will learn about
the people and causes associated with each flavor, and maybe even get involved.

At Snipes Farm, all vegetables and berries are grown using organic farming methods; no pesticides
used.
The Farm School at Snipes' mission is to model and teach sustainable farming, while building
community and reconnecting people to the land. Founded in 2008, the Farm School's "outdoor
classroom" is located on 25 acres of the historic Snipes Farm in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Believing
in the power of nature and community to heal and teach, the present generation of the Snipes
family, the 11th to farm in Lower Bucks County, has offered the use of its land for the establishment
of a not-for-profit educational resource: The Farm School at Snipes. The Farm School envisions a
world where everyone has access to healthy food, open space and the experience of farming,
where local economies are strengthened by the preservation of small farms, and where priority is
given to sustaining the earth and its natural resources.
Over the past several years, a new approach to farming has emerged. One that is grounded in local
food systems and has a close connection to the consumer. One that is crafted around ecological
processes and minimal capital investment. One that uses highly sophisticated rotational planting
patterns to raise yields, reduce pest pressure, and build soil fertility.
And it is happening right here at Somerton Tanks Farm, a demonstration urban farm which is
pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional agriculture and taking it to places where conventional
wisdom says fruits and vegetables do not belong. In its fourth year of operation, using the SPIN
Farming method, we produced over $68,000 in gross sales growing high value vegetables on a
half-acre—in Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the U.S. By pushing the physical and philosophical
boundaries of agriculture, it is achieving a level of productivity and financial success that many
thought impossible. And it's getting others to view the role of agriculture—where and how it is
practiced—differently.
Support us in staking out a new place for locally-based farming in today's global agriculture industry.

http://www.johnjjeffries.com
Located in the heart of Lancaster city in an old tobacco warehouse, John J. Jeffries' unique
approach to dining is based on our belief of a sustainable Lancaster and a local food-based
economy.
The restaurant is named after an actual tobacco inspector from the late 1800s, whose signed
inspection stamp (November 5, 1890) was found in the floor beams during renovations. Our ties to
historic Lancaster County don't stop there. During his first two months in Lancaster, Chef
Cavanaugh visited small, family farms dotting the countryside to source the perfect ingredients. He
was invigorated to find that those farms are as passionate about growing produce and raising
healthy livestock, as the chefs at John J. Jeffries are about cooking it.
One trip to our restaurant and you'll see that we have designed our menu on local, seasonal,
sustainable and organic agriculture. We invite you to join us and taste the difference of local “farm to
table” sustainable cuisine.

Legume is a little family-run bistro. The small and often changing menu is primarily influenced by our
love of old-fashioned French, Italian and American cooking. Simply put, our goal is to cook for
guests in our restaurant the same way we cook for friends and family in our home.
We attempt to cook and serve food that is an expression of the place we live by using the best raw
ingredients we can find and serving it in a friendly, laid back environment, without too much fuss.
Our food might be the food you'd cook at home, if you happened to have several types of
freshly-made stock at your disposal, super fresh vegetables, fish and meat brought to your door,
four extra hours of time in your day and someone to help clean up the dishes.
Our small dining room can be at times loud, drafty and a tad bit tight, but this quirkiness allows both
for intimate discussions and convivial celebrations. If what you're looking for is simple, honest food
made from the heart in a relaxed, jovial atmosphere, grab yourself a bottle of wine and let us cook
for you.

We opened Piatto in 1998 in order to offer Carlisle a traditional, authentic Italian dining experience.
My staff and I share the goal of serving food that tastes great, is healthfully prepared and leaves you
feeling refreshed and energized after dining. Our menus, which change often, reflect the use of
traditional cooking techniques still prevalent in Italy, and are dependent on the availability of fresh,
seasonal ingredients. Several trips to Italy have given me an appreciation and respect for the
cuisine. Each of Italy's 20 regions has its own unique culinary tradition, but the common thread that
unites them all is an emphasis on uncomplicated dishes that highlight the freshness and superior
quality of the ingredients. This simple formula has, happily, seen a resurgence in recent years
thanks to America's renewed interest in real foods. We have been shopping locally for ingredients
over the last twenty years in Carlisle and have established many great partnerships with local
Page 287

farmers and purveyors. Combining these local products with the best available olive oils, cheeses,
meats and pastas from Italy allows us to create a most authentic dining experience.
None of this would be possible without our great staff and our many wonderful guests who support
our efforts to provide this unique dining experience.

BYOB.
In April of 1919, when the stresses and strains of WorId War I were beginning to dissipate and the
need to develop wholesome recreation as part of the resumption of normal living was obvious, three
friends decided they should take up golf again. D. H. Rlofs, R. H. Houston and J. L. McBride
thereupon embarked on the search for a site for a new country club which brought them to the
Jackman Farm adjacent to Ben Avon Heights, a spot they found ideal for the purpose.
A meeting was held July 1, 1919, attended by a growing body of recruits with kindred spirits and the
necessary enthusiasm to commence such an ambitious undertaking. As a result of that meeting
Page 288
pennsylvania guide: restaurants
options were obtained to purchase the Jackman Farm and parts of the South Penn Oil Company's
property adjacent to it. After more meetings, the Kilbuck Land Company was organized on
December 13, 1919 for the purpose of purchasing the land. A country club organization was
substituted for the Kilbuck Land Company on January 10, 1920, with John I. Thompson as its first
president. Land acquisition for the venture began in March.
History buffs within the membership studied early Indian records for Western Pennsylvania in their
search for a suitable name for the Club. The great Chief Shannopin of the Delaware tribe had his
village, which bore his name, on the southern bank of the Allegheny River near Washington's
Crossing. Since he was said to have been gifted with eloquent speech, good sense and sincerity,
the group determined that his name would be preserved for posterity in the name of their new Club.
The golf course opened for play in September of 1920. The century old Jackman homestead was
renovated and became the Club's social center until the Clubhouse was completed in September of
1922. Two tennis courts were also built in 1922 on the site of our present swimming pool, which was
constructed in 1946. The original golf course was only nine holes, covering approximately the same
territory as our front nine today, but an additional nine were added after the acquisition of more land.
Since those early days, Shannopin has been a growing, progressive social institution. The original
Clubhouse was expanded in 1964 with a major addition to the rear of the original structure, which
included the main dining room, cocktail lounge and the mixed grill area adjacent to the main
ballroom. In early 1979, the new entrance to the Club from the members' parking lot was added. In
December of 1980, a two-story addition was completed, which expanded the kitchen and provided a
new bag room. The golf course has undergone many changes over the years, including the
construction in 1976 of a computerized underground watering system. Shannopin went through its
most dynamic change in the early 1990's when approximately four million dollars was spent
changing both the interior and exterior of the house facilities. In 1998, we added a bathhouse,
course turnaround and snack bar adjacent to the swimming area.
Shannopin's Clubhouse remains a stately but charming and comfortable replica of an English
country home. Visitors to our golf course continue to be amazed by its natural beauty and isolation,
its superb condition and the sheer enjoyment to be derived from playing it. However, bricks, mortar,
sod and sand are not Shannopin's primary resources. The Club is sustained by the friendliness and
affability of its members and their obvious enjoyment of each other. It will always be easy to walk in
and get a game at Shannopin.

The Farmhouse embodies local, farm to table flavors in a rustic yet elegant setting. We utilize local
farmers to create the best seasonal dishes. Call today to reserve your table 610.967.6225.
Our philosophy is simple. "Food shouldn't be bad for you and healthy food shouldn't taste bad." The
state of commercial food production in this country is frightening. Just a small peek at how our food
is produced is enough to disturb even the most stoic palate.
Our mission is to model the changes we see necessary in our industry and prove everyone can still
make a profit. The increase in momentum we have experienced in organic consumerism has
created a retail environment where organic dining dsn't have to be expensive anymore. If we are
going to affect change it is up to each of us to eat in what we believe. Come join the party.
The cafe features Kind Cuisine, deliciously enlightened versions of ethnic foods that are kind to your

There are times when we go outside the local area. (After all, the growing season in the Northeast is

In 1963, Mary Beccari started The Beccari's Farm Market. It began with a bushel of apples that she
sold "self-serve" style from a picnic bench. This first stand lasted for about three years. It then
evolved into a small 8-foot by 8-foot lean-to, which was washed away by a flood only two years later.
Then, with used lumber from a demolished house nearby, a larger building and in-ground cooler was
built. That building stood from 1968 to 1991 when the new brick building - the present-day home of
Beccari's Farm Market - was built.
The Beccari's have been in farming since the early 1900's. The basis of the business had been
wholesaling down at the strip in Pittsburgh. But in the early 1960's, Mary saw the coming change in
the produce market. People wanted fresher and better produce than the grocery stores could
supply. The farm market was a way to get the freshest produce to the consumer and cut out the
middleman.
Beccari's Farm is an IPM practicing sustainable farm. This approach we use to manage pests is a
mixture of cultural, physical, biological, and chemical practices, which in turn produces a healthy,

Heather Ridge Creamery is located in beautiful Tioga County, near the Pennsylvania Grand
Canyon. Our small family farm makes cheese from the milk of our 30 prize-winning Holstein and
Jersey cows. As today's farms become large commercial operations, we looked for a way to keep a
small farm where our animals could receive the best of care, and we could have the satisfaction of
bringing a quality dairy product direct from our family to yours.
At our farm, clean, comfortable cows are fed a diet of the best hay and grain Jim can find. Because
of the special care our cows receive, we rarely have any sick animals. However, because of the
significant value of some of these animals, we do on occasion use antibiotics to ensure their
complete recovery if they become ill. For this reason we are not considered a true organic farm.
However, the milk from any animal receiving antibiotics is discarded until she is tested, and found to
be free of all antibiotic residues. We also do not use any pesticides or herbicides on our pastures.
Our cows do not receive RBST or growth hormones. They graze the quiet pastures on our farm and
lounge under the fans if they get too hot. What a life!
We believe the final product is only as good as what gs into it. Our 20 varieties of raw milk cheeses
are made from only high quality milk, salt, cultures and enzymes. Their taste will reflect the quality
and care that gs into all we do. No factories here!
Heather Ridge Farm & Creamery invites you to visit our farm and discover for yourself a real,
working dairy and creamery. With country hospitality, we host individuals, families, clubs and tour
groups on our farm. Visit our gift shop, which boasts our 15 varieties of specialty cheese,
homemade bread, local honey, maple syrup, candy, eggs, grass-fed beef, and gift baskets. We are
open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stop by anytime, if you are a large group or a tour please call
ahead to schedule visits.

European style dining with excellent food made from scratch daily.
Whether grown locally or selectively purchased from other organic producers nationwide, our food is
the best that money can buy. We prefer local organics to support the growers in our region. This
supports the healthy growth of our community as a whole. It just makes sense! When local is not
available we select the best organics that our suppliers access from locales that have a broader
growing season. Every dish is prepared to preserve the natural bounty and flavor of each ingredient.
Every mouthful richly rewards your body and soul without pillaging the good Earth from which it
sprouts.
Our produce is grown with sustainable farming techniques and when possible come from the field to
your plate that day. Our chicken is free-range and so are the eggs they produce. Our fish is wild, not
farmed, and has the lowest mercury content available. Our oils are not hydrogenated, our flours are
not bromated, in fact, nothing is really adulterated in our cafe.
Our baker prepares our breads and deserts from scratch. With years of baking experience and the
best ingredients, she produces baked goods unrivaled in this area.

Selene Whole Foods Co-op has recently begun to carry a small selection of organic and
naturally-raised meats. Any meats not carried by the store, such as pork and turkey, can be ordered
easily within a week's notice. The co-op may expand its meat capacity in the near future.
Selene is a non-profit, whole foods cooperative owned and operated by its members. Membership is
open to everyone. Decision and policy making operate at two levels. The elected Board of Directors
is responsible for ongoing planning and supervision of the Co-op. The monthly board meetings are
open to the general membership, and times and places are posted in the store. Policy changes and
decisions are established by the consensus of those present at the annual membership meetings.
Members' participation at these meetings helps to insure the continued democratic operation of our
Co-op.
Selene purchases foods that are organically grown and locally produced when possible. We are
concerned with selling "whole foods," by which we mean those foods as close to their natural state
as possible - foods that have undergone little or no processing. We will not knowingly sell irradiated
foods. Our prices are discounted to members and provide considerable savings on most items.

I am not your usual health food store owner. I don't have any degrees in nutrition or alternative
treatments with herbs and supplements. What I do have is a little bit of life experience and a lot of
compassion for those who have special dietary needs.
When my daughter was six years old she started having some stomach and intestinal problems. As
she got older, her condition worsened. Almost every time she ate she got sick. At times she was in
pure agony. It was heartbreaking for me, as a mother.
For six years we went to different doctors and hospitals, enduring many different tests, searching for
an answer to my daughters problems. Finally, we were guided to a natural health practitioner. It was
discovered that due to many bouts with ear infections, the antibiotic treatments had caused a yeast
overgrowth through out her stomach and intestines. Many of the foods she was eating just made the
problem worse. She was put on the strictest diet for one month; no wheat, dairy, sugar, or
chocolate. Even certain fruits and vegetables were forbidden because of the hidden mold on them,
which would promote yeast growth. After slowly introducing these foods back into her diet, we found
that the worst triggers were wheat and sugar. What an adjustment to make! The search and
experimentation began for alternative foods that actually taste good. It has been twelve years now,
and we have found many alternatives.
A little over a year ago we moved to this area, and found there were no stores offering the foods we
needed. We got tired of making the long trip to other locations. So I thought, why not open my own
store? This would be a great benefit to me and to many others in the area. After six months of much
thought and many prayers, I felt led by God to take the plunge into the business world.
I have found that I can share what I know from experience, with my customers. In turn, I am learning
a great deal from them. I share in the excitement of my customers as they find the many good foods
they can eat without getting sick. I know what that feeling is like. It is very fulfilling for me to be able
to provide them with the variety they are looking for.

The Vale Wood Farms label has always been your guarantee of the very best in dairy foods; now we
are certified by the American Humane Association that assures you our animals are raised
humanely.
At Vale Wood Farms, our quality control begins with maintaining a healthy and happy herd of dairy
cows. The milk we process comes from our own dairy herd and from neighboring farms that share
our dedication to fresh, wholesome dairy goodness.
Vale Wood Farms offers delivery of the freshest milk and dairy products possible. Our processing
plant is located in the country, very close to the cows that produce our quality milk. Many times the
milk you drink today was on the farm yesterday! Try our regular or reduced-fat milk, buttermilk, ice
cream, sour cream, flavord milk, half and half, cottage cheese and more.
Vale Wood Farms' dairy store is located in the countryside, right by our processing plant and dairy
farm at 518 Vale Wood Road. At our store, you can:

Weavers Orchard is a fourth generation family business located in the beautiful hills of Berks
County. Featuring an orchard farm market open all year with a full line of quality fruit and produce
and Pick Your Own Fruit in season.
Come experience a family atmosphere through festivals and great service. We work hard to keep
the orchard centered around the family so that every visit can be an enjoyable one. Through our
pick-your-own fruits, and special events throughout summer and fall, there is always something to
do to here at the orchard.
Our farm market offers quality fruits and vegetables year round, homegrown when available, as well
as specialty products including a full line of baked goods, deli items, dairy, canned goods, jellies and
jams, custom made fruit baskets, and much more.
Weavers Way Co-op, at 559 Carpenter Lane, provides a friendly shopping environment and a wide
variety of quality foods, at prices lower than supermarkets. Members realize savings in several
ways. The Co-op is owned by its members, so there is no owner taking profits off the top. Because
members must work in the store six hours a year, a substantial portion of the Co-op's labor costs are
defrayed. And by purchasing many items in bulk, and either selling them in bulk bins or repackaged
by volunteers, Weavers Way keeps prices even lower.
