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.
When you need specific foods for your special needs...
|
Hi Reader, It can be frustrating to find the foods that your family needs to avoid allergens, to heal inflammation or to stick with a special diet. You know that buying direct from a farmer can give you access to the freshest quality but farms aren't always convenient. Even farmer's markets can be a hassle, especially in winter. Even more troubling is not knowing if you can trust the labels you see; not to mention trying to learn what all the different farming terms mean: organic? pastured? cage-free? humane? soy-free? gluten free? gmo free? Farmer Reuben and I can help. We have experience with many special need diets and we've worked for 15 years to gather the cleanest, most nutrient dense foods from farmers and artisans in our region to give you confidence when you buy the food you need. We are organic farmers and we know what goes on behind the scenes. You can ask us how the food is grown or where it is from. You can't do that on Amazon/Whole Foods or at Costco or Wegmans. Would you like to try some of our most nutrient dense foods?CAUTION: the links below will take you to our member only store to preview what's available. You'll need the SHOP NOW button to make a one time order.
"The more I understand about the role of food in our lives, the more careful I am about who I buy my food from. I am inspired by what you do - and everything tastes better!"

Hi Reader, I didn’t always eat organic. When my husband Reuben decided to start farming, he chose the organic method simply to be different from the other farms around us. At first, that was it. But as we connected with some of the smartest farmers in the world—people who had studied the land, the science, and the history—we began to uncover just how much modern farming has damaged our food… and our health. We learned that conventional farming doesn’t just spray toxins—it strips the soil,...
