Description

We've been supplying locally-grown, organic vegetables to State College, Lewistown, and Mifflintown since 1998 through our CSA. For the 2010 summer season, we are adding a distribution site in Selinsgrove, PA. If you're interested in more information, please visit our website and sign up for our "Selinsgrove" email list. Boxes include an average of 12 pounds of produce during the summer season and 14 pounds every other week during the winter. Along with the wide array of organic vegetables, our members especially enjoy our strawberries, blueberries and red rasperries. Pastured poultry and pork and free-range eggs are also grown on the farm. While most of the produce and meat is raised by Village Acres Farm or our partner, Blue Rooster Farm, we also purchase some of our products from Tuscarora Organic Growers, our local organic co-op.

Village Acres is a certified-organic family farm nestled along the banks of the Lost Creek in central PA (3 hours from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC). We are a highly diversified 30-acre farm with about 15 acres in vegetable and berry production annually. We also grow cut flowers and raise pastured poultry and pork. It is important to us to sell locally, so our primary markets are a growing CSA (240 members in 2010) and a cooperative of small farmers that wholesales fruits and vegetables to restaurants and retailers in Washington, DC. We have a well-developed internship program for those who are seriously interested in exploring farming as a vocation, and hire up to four interns each season.
