I have been eagerly awaiting this day. I love driving up Route 422 and then out to Oley, through the picturesque farmland to Fisher’s Produce. I go about once a week during the summertime to pick up their fresh and delicious homegrown berries and vegetables. After that I swing by their neighbor’s at Wholesome Dairy Farms [...]

I found out about Prout’s Jollyview Farm in Oley, Berks County, from a friend who lives up that way. When I heard about their strawberry festival, I decided to drive up. This farm is waaaaaay off the beaten path. The drive is gorgeous, just farm after farm. Unfortunately I got there just as they were [...]

I decided chocolate was [...]
Pasture’s Pride is a farm in Kutztown, Berks County, that specializes in natural, pasture raised meats. I ordered a batch of 10 chickens that I picked up last September, and I am keeping them in mind for beef when we run out of our current supply. I drove out to Kutztown one foggy fall [...]
