The Family Cow Store and Delivery Service is an EcoFarm located in Chambersburg, PA, but they are now delivering to drop points all over the Philadelphia area. Since haven’t had the opportunity YET to take a tour of the farm, I spoke with Edwin, one of the farmers. As I spoke to him, I could [...]

Hendricks Farm & Dairy in Telford, along the Bucks and Montgomery county line, has grass fed meats, raw milk, yogurt, and award-winning cheeses. They also sell soaps.

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 [...]
I’d heard good things about Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs, so one day we stopped in to the Chester Springs Creamery for their moolicious ice cream.
