New This Week:


Just a preview to tempt your tastebuds. See below to join us on our farm tour to Paradise Hill Farm in New Jersey.

APPLE TREE GOAT DAIRY is debuting several new flavors of chevre this week: CHIPOTLE, CRANBERRY ALMOND, HONEY PECAN, ONION CHIVE, and ROASTED GARLIC. The flavored chevres will cost a little more than the plain, because of the extra labor that goes into their production, but we think it's worth it.

FRESH WHOLE CHICKENS from Meadow Run Farm (arriving Tuesday) and FRESH PORK from Country Time Farm (arriving Thursday afternoon).

YOGURT from Pequea Valley Dairy has returned! All flavors arriving Saturday afternoon.

HAKUREI TURNIPS and PEA SHOOTS from Gottschell Farm.

KIWIBERRIES and a few QUINCE from Green Meadow Farm.

CELERIAC with TOPS, FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISHES, and RAINBOW CARROTS from Lancaster Farm Fresh.

GRAFFITI (Purple) CAULIFLOWER from Paradise Organics and CHEDDAR (Orange) CAULIFLOWER, GALACTIC LETTUCE, and BULK PURPLE TURNIPS from Landisdale Farm.

ASIAN GREENS MIX from Paradise Organics is back by popular demand.

PEPPERMINT, SPECKLED BUTTER PEAS, and FLAGOLET BEANS from Overbrook Herb Farm.

SPECIAL THROUGH OCTOBER 31ST, 25% OFF on BONE-IN and BONELESS MEADOW RUN FARM LAMB LEGS.

Lots of our customers have already been asking about Thanksgiving turkeys! Our Meadow Run Farm tour attendees even got to see a young snowy flock of birds stalking around and starting fights with one another last weekend. It seems funny to be thinking about yams, cranberries and cold weather with heirloom tomatoes still hanging around, but Ann and I have begun making arrangements with our farmers for fowl. We're still gathering specifics but can assure you that we will have three different types of pasture- raised birds again this Thanksgiving. We'll be offering Naturally-Raised, Certified Organic, and Heritage birds, all from local family farms. We will begin taking orders within the coming weeks, both at the Farmstand and on the White Dog Community Enterprises website. The birds will be delivered fresh and will be available for pick-up on Wednesday, November 21st. We'll also have frozen turkeys available by the weekend before Thanksgiving for those of you who need to pick up your birds before the Wednesday of that week. We'll keep you informed as things take shape.

Tour to Paradise Hill Farm: Heirloom Cranberry Bogs and Blueberry Bushes

Saturday, October 27, 10:30-2:30pm
Vincentown, Burlington County, NJ

Paradise Hill Farm is committed to the environmental and historic conservation of New Jersey's Pine Barrens. Specializing in cranberries and blueberries, they are dedicated to preserving heirloom varieties. The blueberries that we got from them this year were just spectacular (we also now have them available frozen), and now we're offering the white and red cranberries, fresh, at the Farmstand. The farm has been in Mary Ann Thompson's family since 1890. Mary Ann's Grandmother won the Silver medal for quality at the Buffalo exposition in the early 1900s, and she is continuing that tradition today. The farm spans over 800 acres in the Pine Barrens, with 200 acres in cranberry production.
Walk out to the bogs, see their antique machinery, and hear the colorful stories.

Tickets are $25 adults, $12 children (6-13) free for children under 6. Price includes tour and deliciously fresh and local picnic on the farm. Farmers Market Nutrition Program (Senior an WIC) participants receive a 50% discount. Discounts may be available for groups of 5 or more people.
