We're GROWING. Literally. We identified a dozen species of plants that were very hard to keep in stock and are growing them right at our distribution facility in Lancaster for you to enjoy this spring!

Take some time during this beautiful day to admire what you've grown in your gardens.

Monday Morning Gratitude: One of the best outcomes this past season was finding Leg Up Farmers Market to be our York County base. They directly support two non profits Leg Up Farm and Able Services. You can support them by continuing to purchase high-quality local produce, meats, and so much more all year long.
