I was there today and noticed the sign. I hope it is good. I have to work on Sat., but my wife plans to go.

When at Renny Farms in Wrightstown, I try to stop at Birchwood Dairy, which appears to be represented at the market. Man, their raw milk is awesome -- comes unskimmed of cream, which rises to the top of the gallon jug. Yogurt's pretty tasty, too. I was less impressed with the butter, but I only tried it once. Nice people. Glad that Bucks residents are getting access to the bounty of the county.

Birchwood Dairy appears to be in Canada, how will it be represented at the farmers market, by another farm that carries the products? Do you have any info on Renny Farms other than it appears to be a perennial Farm?

Oops. Wrong link. It's Birchwood Farm Dairy. I saw their milk bottles serving as flower vases at that restaurant on west side of 413 between Newtown and Wrightstown (sign praises their crabcakes, IIRC). They directed me to a veterinarian's office on Pineville Road, which sells Birchwood Farm Dairy products. It's near the intersection with Thompsonville Road, on which Hortulus Farm, a wonderful plant farm, part of the Heritage Conservancy, is located.
