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."

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...

Hi Reader! Have you ever had a hobby that started small and grew into something worth sharing? Back in 2018, Eric and I decided to try our hand at winemaking directly from the fruit. Our first Merlot turned out so well that we just had to do it again. Fast forward to today, and our third collaboration—made from PA sour cherries—is something truly special. This wine is not too sweet like many cherry wines—but you’ll have to taste it to believe it. The best way to enjoy a special, unique wine...

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.

Her story is full of humor, resilience, and tips for turning starter into something special. Curious to...

Hi Reader! Have you ever tasted something so good, it felt like your body was finally saying “thank you”? That’s how I felt the first time I had a slice of sourdough bread after years of cutting gluten out to heal my gut and skin. It wasn’t just the taste—it was the relief, the feeling of finally being able to savor something that worked with my body, not against it. I’m sure you can imagine how that felt. After struggling with digestive issues and skin flare-ups, I knew something had to...

Hi Reader! I woke up the day after Christmas with bloating and gas—ugh. I tried to be conscious of my digestion, even though there were plenty of rich foods and extra desserts. I didn’t overeat, but it seemed like all the indulgence caught up with me. By the next day, I found myself hiding in my room, hoping my gut would settle down. (I know you’ve probably been there, too, right?) As much as I love the holiday treats, I realized just how important it is to get back on track with digestion....
