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.
Reclaim Your Time & Eliminate Stress: Introducing the Market Box Solution
|
Hi Reader, Picture this waiting on your front porch when you get home: a sturdy farm box overflowing with goodness.
That’s your Market Box from Willow Haven Farm! Knowing your food is coming from farmers you know by name will bring you peace of mind. You will eliminate the anxiety and second-guessing of grocery runs. When you start a Market Box subscription:
Join now for nutrient dense food arriving in your kitchen as early as next week! By not stressing or beating yourself up for feeding your family fast food and packaged food, you will reclaim hours in your week. Guess what else? Our farm members help each other by sharing recipes to use the fresh, seasonal ingredients. When you see how other moms in our private chat group are using kohlrabi, buttermilk or beef bones, you'll be inspired to try new foods too. The Market Box Subscription is the solution to your worry about shopping for nutrient dense food. We grow organic vegetables bursting with flavor, the sweetest, creamiest milk and the most succulent pastured pork you’ve ever tasted. We even bake our own sourdough bread, scones and cookies using farm fresh organic ingredients. But there’s more. We have strong relationships with other small scale, organic and grass fed farms that raise everything else: lamb, beef, chicken, turkey, local fruit. A fishing family from Bloomsburg, PA brings Alaskan salmon and seafood to us every month. We invite you into our farm life so that you feel connected to where your food comes from and learn what to do with the new foods you’ll want to try. You'll be confident that the food you purchase from us is clean, nutrient dense and good for your family. Even better you’ll be motivated to go home to cook - instead of stopping to get nutrition-less fast food on the way. But our farm members tell us one more important thing: the food tastes incredible! Their children eat it too. Even the picky eaters. Now that’s a win-win for you! Join now for nutrient dense food arriving in your kitchen as early as next week! We'll keep farming for you! Reuben and Tessa DeMaster P.S. Look for tomorrow's email. It will explain how to choose the right Market Box for your family. |

Hi Reader! The young, aspiring reporter met Reuben and Bill at a boring township meeting. Now Olivia Marble is following this lead wherever it takes her. After the zoning meeting in Upper Macungie Township, a young lady with a microphone attached to her iphone stopped Farmer Reuben and Bill Kuklinski, the owner of the building at 8150 Hamilton Boulevard. After that interview she looked up our farm and found out about our Foster A Chick program. She came out to the farm to see the families...
Hi Reader, Can You Grow One Thing? The only thing better than a Market Box is growing your own food. Which you should do! "We encourage every one to grow at least one vegetable at home" Farmer Reuben explained at Earth Day. Why? So you can experience the freshness and satisfaction of picking food from the ground and putting it in your mouth immediately. Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers are perfect for this but even a planter of lettuce, herbs or kale is great too. Reuben's first farm job,...
