Each share will contain items like cheese, eggs, apples, potatoes, onions, winter squash, cider, turnips, radishes, beets, carrots, cabbage, garlic, syrup, honey, grains, greenhouse lettuce and greens, and even some jarred tomatoes, salsas and jams- all from Penn’s Corner farms!

Feel free to send us an email at csa@pennscorner.com if you have any questions. We’re happy to help!
