KDKA aired an awesome feature on Penn's Corner last night about the Farm Stand and the hogs at Hilltop Farm!  Check it out here!  

For the first time ever, Penn's Corner now has an office and warehouse space!  We can be found at 6400 Hamilton Ave, Pittsburgh PA 15206.  We are very excited for our walk-in coolers, space to pack CSA boxes, and office!

and the Penn's Corner Farmers and Staff are all busy planning for the year ahead.  Currently, we are working on crop allocations for 2012, the CSA schedule, pricing and hopefully some new incentives for members!  CSA sign up will open in January probably mid-month.  Stay tuned! 

The first week of our Winter CSA Share went very smoothly and staff rather enjoyed packing the boxes themselves!  We look forward to continuing this new endeavor.

Our Farm Stands continue to be well utilized and will run all the way through winter so be sure to stock up on local eggs, bread, cheese, meat and produce at one of our three Farm Stand locations.  You can also get the best that southwestern PA has to offer at our partner restaurants!

The Farm Stand Buying Club has a new pick-up location in Lawrenceville at the Stephen Foster Community Center.  The first pick-up will take place on October 17th with online ordering begining on the 10th.  We hope to see you there!

We still have some 24 week Harvest Shares available.  This share begins in the first week of June and runs until just before Thanksgiving.  We will take new members until May 31st or until we are sold out.  Sign up for yours now before it's too late. 

Penn's Corner will be joining Goose Creek Gardens and many other great vendors at the Mt Lebanon Earth Day this Saturday! We will be selling and sampling some products, and would love to see you there!

Our weekly newsletters are no longer those clumsy pdf files that you have to download.  Now it’s just a simple blog that we hope will be considered an improvement by all!

Each week there is one post which lists the contents for both Tuesday and Wednesday boxes.  Recipes we love, current events, news from our farms and recipes from local chefs are also featured on the blog.

Our farmers and staff have just finished packing the first CSA boxes! We are so excited for a smooth start to the season, and hope you love your boxes today!  If you haven't joined the CSA yet, sign-up for the 24 week Summer share is still open, even though our Spring share is currently sold out. We would be happy to put you on the waiting list for the Spring shares while you wait for your Summer share to start in mid-June!  Sign up online, or send us an email at csa@pennscorner.com to be put on the waiting list.
