White Dog Cafe

White Dog Cafe is located in University City, in Philadelphia (right on Penn’s Campus). White Dog Cafe is known for it’s environmental sustainability, and they are not among the newbie-restaurants popping up along the Philadelphia scene–they have been in operation since 1983, the year I was born! So it was fitting that we celebrated my [...]

Hendricks Farm & Dairy

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. Last week I bought their cabiolette and cheddar bley – both incredible cheeses. I tried their sausage, hot dogs (with out nitrates), and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious. [...]

Wholesome Dairy Farms in Douglassville, Berks County, specializes in raw milk and beef (both from their pasture grazed Ayrshire cows.)  They also sell homemade yogurt and cheese.  I love driving down the narrow, winding road to this farm and seeing the cows contentedly grazing on acres of fresh green grass. I travel to Wholesome Dairy [...]

Kolb’s Farm Store and Dairy

The Kolb’s Farm Store in Spring City, Chester County, was another one of my first discoveries when we moved to this area.  Family owned and operated since 1975, they sell their own fresh milk without growth hormones that is produced right there on the farm.  And they make some of the yummiest chocolate milk you [...]
