Introducing cow's milk feta: the DELICIOUS alpha & omega from Clover Creek.

We’re not sure what the official name is for this wonderful time of year, when the summer and fall produce is all in season at once, but we call it harvest time! When else can you get fresh-off-the-farm tomatoes and apples at the same time? Chefs are stocking up — are you? Visit the link in our bio to get your online farmstand order started! . . #wegothere #summerproduce #fallproduce #harvest #localfood #pittsburgh #farmtotable #apples #heirloomtomatoes

Farmer Friday spotlight goes to not one, but 12 Amish family farms that make up Clarion River Organics. You won’t see pictures of the farmers or their fields all over our Instagram, so it’s up to us to tell their story and for their horses to get the picture spotlight! The farms all have beautiful names, which matches the beautiful Clarion River area the farms are in. From Parker, PA to Rimersburg, PA and spots in between, Country View Farm, Long Acre Farm, Maple Grove Farm, Maple View Farm, Schmucker Family Farm, Riverbend Acres, Hill Too Farm and Hidden Valley Farm are working behind the scenes to grow beautiful, organic produce for you to enjoy. Zeb manages the CRO co-op and shared what the farms are up to these days: . . 👨‍🌾 Zeb: We are very busy getting the early fall harvest in from the fields and shipped out. Hundreds of cases of winter squash and onions a week, especially butternuts. *all harvested by hand with the help of horse power! . . 🍅 What’s CRO’s best selling product so far this year? (I thought maybe tomatoes?) 👨‍🌾 Zeb: Butternut squash, like every year! . . 🍅 What do you want Penn’s Corner customers to know about CRO/Amish farming that people don't often realize? 👨‍🌾 Zeb: Not all Amish farmers are organic; in fact most aren't. But for whatever reason the Sligo community of Amish behind Clarion River Organics are very interested in holistic health for themselves and their farms. They don't just grow organically, but they try to eat natural and use natural wellness practices for their families. And they prioritize finding ways to make a living on the farm rather than from off-farm jobs, so that the whole family can work together in a wholesome natural setting. . . #organicfarming #amishfarms #cooperatives #horsepower #certifiedorganic #farmerfriday #supportlocal #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood

Our very own Nigel of Weatherbury Farm just announced that his LOCAL, ORGANIC rolled oats are ready!! Boy, are we excited. Customers tell us Weatherbury's rolled oats are the best they've ever tasted. After Weatherbury Farm harvests the oats, they are triple-cleaned and rolled, with none of the processing used in producing commercial rolled oats. Thus, these oats have their natural vitality, nutrients and flavor. Now, go ahead and get your oatmeal on! Sold by the 1.5 and 5lb bags; click on the photos to shop! Want to see where these were grown? Use the grain tracker on Weatherbury's website!

This week we introduced the TINIEST spaghetti squash you've seen, cured onions (for storage!) and delicious frying peppers. What will you make with your box? Tag us in your creation! . .
