Saturday's Weather: Sunny and Cold!

 

Enjoy Shopping Inside the Warm Longview Farm Store!

 

 

Visit our Collegeville Farmers' Market vendors inside the Longview Farm Store each Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. through April 28th!  The Longview Center for Agriculture is located at the former Willow Creek Farm, 3215 Stump Hall Road in Collegeville.

 

Selling this week are Marcy's Granola with seven mouthwatering flavors of artisan granola, Bigg Dutt's BBQ and chipotle sauces, A'dello Vineyards' local wines, and Little Lost Creek Alpaca Farm with alpaca products and handcrafted pottery by local potter Nicole Dubrow.

 

While visiting our farmers and vendors this week, take advantage of Longview's fresh, local vegetable offerings along with an entire line of organic dairy products, including milk, butter, yogurts and cheeses, organic poultry, meats and smoked salmon, artisan pasta, flours, polentas, beans and whole grain rolled oats.

 

Also, don't miss their all natural homemade products, many made right at the farm, including a line of tasty vinaigrettes, cinnamon honey butter, artisan mustards, FreshAPeel hummus, wonderful sauces and dried soup mixes.

 

The farm store, which is operated by the non-profit Greener Partners, is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and is open Wednesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

 

Directions to Longview:  The Longview Center for Agriculture is located at 3215 Stump Hall Road, Collegeville, PA.  (From the Collegeville Farmers' Market Main St. site, drive east down Main St. and cross the Perkiomen Creek Bridge.  Drive about five miles east on Germantown Pike, then turn left on Rt. 363, and after several miles turn left again on to Stump Hall Rd.  Longview is about a mile down on your right.)

 

 

Did you Ever Wonder Why More and More Individuals are Choosing Farming as a Career or Second Career?

 

 

Then enjoy this video, "Growing Your Future in Agriculture," a 12-minute piece introducing all of us young, middle-aged and oldsters to sustainable farming as a career or second career, and starring our market farmers from North Star Orchards, Lisa and Ike Kerschner! You will be amazed to learn that many or most people in farming today never grew up on a farm. What's not to like about this profession? View
