We are Less Than 2 Weeks Away from Kicking Off Our 2019 

Field to Fork Dinner Series!

 Jeffrey A. Miller from JAM Catering in Philadelphia

will be the first guest chef of the 

Field to Fork Dinner 2019 season on July 10th!

Jeffrey A. Miller Catering started in 1980 as a brunch-in-bed school project by founder Jeff Miller, then a sophomore at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While studying entrepreneurship during the school year, Jeff used his summers to train in some of the best kitchens in the world, working in New York, London, and a Michelin three-starred restaurant in the south of France.
The creativity in presentation, emphasis on freshness, and attention to detail that made these restaurants great is what inspired Jeff to try to reinvent catering, abandoning an old style of boring, cookie-cutter banquet food in favor of vibrant culinary offerings with flavors from around the world. Although what started as a one-man band is today a thriving organization, this spirit of innovation continues to guide our kitchen and all aspects of the JAM experience.
 Sign Up Here for the July 10th Dinner with Jeffrey Miller

BAN THE BAG!

SIW Vegetables is BANNING THE BAG!

In our great efforts of going green and reflecting the farm’s culture of loving the environment & helping save our beautiful planet, SIW Veggies has decided to BAN all plastic bags at the farm!

-       The single use plastic bags pollute our landfills, road sides and oceans while requiring a lot of energy to produce. The average, useful life of each plastic bag is only around 12 minutes.

-       Plastic bags DO NOT DECOMPOSE. Because of their very resistant & synthetic polymers, they may take up to 1,000 YEARS or NEVER until they completely degrade in natural environments.

This is a ban on single use plastic bags. Moving forward as the season begins, we will replace plastic bags with biodegradable bags that you can toss in a compost bucket or trash at home. You may bring your own reusable bags or baskets when shopping at the farm stand. We will also be selling reusable bags for $1.25 at the stand for you to use which can be returned for a FULL refund.

Note: We will have a collection bin for those who wish to donate their unwanted reusable or canvas bags (absolutely NO plastic bags) for the taking. A neighborly way to help those that may forget their own bags.

CSA Member Update

The first CSA pickup will be at the farm stand June 19-21. 

You can stop down Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays each week to pick up your goodies. The beginning is a little light but it does ramps up as the season progresses. You'll be indulging in a rainbow of veggies before you know it!
