Growing up on my family's farm in Pennsylvania, I never would have pictured the life I live at Willow Haven farm. As a kid I spent summers in our large family garden we called, “The Truck Patch”. I helped mom every summer, picking beans, weeding, and cutting fruit and vegetables for the hundreds of jars of canned and frozen produce we put up. Now I spends less time out in the field and more time in the kitchen doing the same preserving for my own farm family. Farmer Reuben values my many hours doing much of the behind the scenes marketing, writing emails to cultivate customers and capturing the farm story each week. I'm always learning along the way in my quest to improve the farm experience for each of her current and future farm members in our 500+ member, year-round customized farm box delivery program. Reading our stories will connect you with your food in a way you never experienced before. Someday soon you will want to fit local food into your life and we'll be here to help you.

Hi Reader, Fresh, crisp lettuce and vitamin packed kale is already being picked. Napa cabbage, broccoli, bok choy, radish and rhubarb are next. Organic strawberries from Farmer Leroy will ripen in this hot weather and be ready for Market Box members any day. (Members get first dibs!) Nutrient dense greens are bursting with life in our field. I'm using them in my 5 day Detox smoothies this week: kale, cilantro, lemons and even greenhouse grown cucumbers are perfectly timed. Cherry tomatoes grown in Farmer Leroy's greenhouse were a big surprise for about 24 spring farm members who had them rated as a big smiley face. I was lucky to snag a few for this picture. REASON #1 You Benefit From Living Seasonal! Your body craves green salads in spring to replenish nutrients depleted over the winter. When you join a CSA to eat local food, especially year round, you will receive the health benefits of peak nutrition, including the juicy flavors that POP in your mouth when you eat beefy tomatoes and drippy, sweet peaches. You'll Feel GreatThere's nothing we want more than to create a great farm experience that fits into your life so you can feel great about
We support your desire to have a good healthy way of life and food on your table that supports that goal.

Hi Reader, Lisa wasn’t part of the sourdough craze during the pandemic, but when she took a workshop at Willow Haven Farm, her journey with “Frank” (her sourdough starter) began—and it’s been anything but ordinary. From near-disasters (like baking “Frank” by accident) to delicious wins, Lisa’s experience proves that sourdough making is far more forgiving—and rewarding—than you might think. Her story is full of humor, resilience, and tips for turning starter into something special. Curious to...
Hi Reader, When Devon came to Willow Haven Farm, he was blown away. His friends at the gym—our farm customers—had been telling him for weeks, even months: "You’ve got to meet Reuben and Tessa. You’ve got to get your food from them!" Now, our businesses are just around the corner from each other, and in a shocking turn of events—Reuben is actually sitting in front of a camera to interview him. (I know, right?!) I can’t wait to share it with you. You see, we truly want you to live a healthy,...
Hi Reader, The door was stuck. Arms full of warm, freshly baked pastries, I struggled to push open the glass front green door of the General Store. No luck. Then I saw the sign: "Use Other Door." Don’t you hate acting out that Far Side cartoon in real life? 😆 But don’t let that stop you—our doors are open, and it’s cozy inside! The scent of hot coffee and buttery scones fills the air, and we’ve got some delicious deals waiting for you this week. This Week’s Specials – Just for You 🍏 All Week...
