Summer FARM GUIDE

Our Farms Are Now Open To Us In

so many different ways. Although we still see the farmstands along country roads with tomatoes, cucumbers, fruit and everything from string beans to broccoli, the newer farm stores now have more than you can imagine: fresh produce, grass fed beef, cakes, cookies, pies, gifts and more. The walking tour of local farms has given way to camps, educational centers for children, petting zoos, playgrounds and all sorts of family adventures. Many farms have opened themselves to the community in a big way.

In rural Bucks County you can visit butcher shops, pick your own fruit, take courses on everything from growing flowers to cooking your own farm-to-table dinners. And yet they are farms—fully functionally farms. When we say grace and thank God for our food, we are also thanking Him for those who grow it. Farmers specializing in growing organic food are willing to take the risk of not using pesticides, hormones and antibiotics and finding innovative ways to grow delicious produce and raise tender meat. All farmers take risks and are subject to weather conditions, market fluctuations, and a host of other things that make their work sometimes difficult, but they also witness the beauty of producing food and get the satisfaction of people enjoying the fruit of their hands.

Farmers in Bucks County are an important part of our local economy. Along with restaurants that “buy locally” and stores that sell their harvest, our farmers and others in the agricultural market work hard making life in Bucks County better. Besides being a part of the beautiful diversity that includes our towns, scenic vistas and rural countryside, our farms preserve our land and heritage, increase our understanding of nature, nurture families, and provide us with a sense of place. Visit our farms on the following pages this summer.

We are a fourth generation Bucks County family farm raising our own turkey, chicken and beef. We specialize in making turkey products, as well as homemade soups and salads. We also carry a large variety of other local vendors; produce, baked goods, and milk in glass bottles to name a few.

We are open year round, Monday through Saturday
