For your support and friendship we say thank you! We will, however, not be continuing these programs. With the help of a farm consultant, we have discovered that growing for fewer purposes would be better for the farm operation. We invite CSA members of any era, farm market customers, farm volunteers and Friends of the Farm to join us Friday January 17th at the Fallsington Friends Meetinghouse to celebrate the many hands and many members involved with the CSA and market and especially the work of Victoria Lautsbaugh finishing 20 years here at the farm.
