Pennypack Farm and Education Center is a local non-profit organization located just down the road at 685 Mann Road in Horsham. They offer
a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program (winter and summer), educational programs, and the farm also give sizable amounts of produce each year to those in need (10,000 lb donated last year).

Currently, Pennypack Farm is selling shares for their summer CSA program, which runs from the end of May through beginning of November. Pennypack Farm’s CSA is set up to provide high quality, local food, value, choice and an on-farm experience to its members. They offer both Summer and Winter CSA shares so members can enjoy produce year-round.

Both CSAs are market-style, on-farm pickup. Each week, choices of vegetables will be displayed and offered in Pennypack’s Harvest House share room, similar to what you’d find at a farmer’s market. Coming to the farm on their designated pick-up day each week, members select the vegetables to make up their share, depending on their share size. In the Summer, You-Pick crops and flower bouquets are also available where members go into the fields to pick their own.

Coming to the farm is an opportunity to experience reverence for the moment; it’s a chance to take a pause from the hectic hustle and bustle and enjoy the pure bliss of a cherry tomato fresh off the vine, the crunch of a juicy green bean, the sweet burst of a strawberry, and the communal sound of members’ voices in the share room floating over the breeze.
