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 spend 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 our 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!"

Reader, We were out shoveling the parking lot with the kids while mugs of real hot chocolate, chai lattes made with whole milk, and cappuccinos Reuben insists are “perfection” (he learned in Sicily) waited inside. Between sips, the kids wandered the store—feasting their eyes on new artisan pieces and tasting infused honeys as they debated what to buy for a special friend. It was one of those moments that reminded me why we love this season so much. That’s the feeling behind our Holiday Sip &...

Reader, Every day Farmer Reuben meets someone new who’s just discovering our General Store. They come in for sourdough, a hot lunch, or a fresh pastry — and their eyes light up when they realize they’ve finally found a place that doesn’t compromise on clean, local food. That moment matters. Because Willow Haven General Store isn’t meant to be just another shop. We’re building a place where families can eat without second-guessing labels… where neighbors gather around coffee and conversation…...
