ANNOUNCING...a new product

On September 24, 2008, Lily Ann was born, making Phil and Becky grandparents for the first time. Making trips to witness the birth and assist first-time parents has left less time for farming and no time for posting new blog entries. We have priorities! She is a healthy, happy, beautiful baby, and we are blessed to have her as our granddaughter.

The market on the farm is closed since October 18. The last day for the Coraopolis market was October 27. We continue to offer veggies at Ambridge on Thursdays, 3:30pm - dusk, and at Beaver on Saturdays, 10:00am - 1:00pm. The only items left are:
