There are two kinds of people in our great city: those who experience palpitations of joy at the sight of sunny, bright orange egg yolks on their toast at breakfast; and those who don't much notice one way or another. Regardless of which kind of person you are, it's my bet that you'd enjoy our MEADOW RUN FARM TOUR (details below). Meadow Run did, after all, get Philadelphia Magazine's 2005 "Best of Philly" award for their eggs, an accolade that goes undisputed today. Meadow Run also happens to be the first farm I visited in my days as a Farmstand volunteer. I went expecting to meet the pastured pigs, chickens, and sheep. What I didn't expect was to be so delighted by the sweet-faced, golden Jersey milking cows, the expansive kitchen garden, and the irresistible litter of barn kittens. While we can't promise the litter of kittens on this year's tour, we can promise an intimate conversation with accomplished young farmers, Philip and Dorcas Landis, a tasty local food lunch, and a promise that the price of every ticket sold goes towards supporting our work with family farms in our region. Reserve yours today!

In honor of our trip to Meadow Run Farm on October 6th, the Farmstand is offering a 25% OFF SPECIAL on BONE-IN and BONELESS MEADOW RUN LAMB LEGS beginning this week through the month of October. Enjoy the first cool weather by roasting a leg of lamb with local garlic, and rest assured that you're supporting sustainable agriculture and your local family farmers.

Farm Tours
