Want to do More for the Farm? 

Are you loving the farm? Are you enjoying the pick-ups, meeting some of the other farm members while you're doing your U-Pick, are you supporting our mission of local farming, healthy eating, and preserving open space?  Are you at a point you'd like to get more involved?  Then please consider joining Pennypack Farm's Board of Directors.  We have several openings on the board, and we're looking to add a few new members to keep our team complete, and energized and engaged!
 
The BOD is made up entirely of farm and community, and together with our outstanding staff, we run our organization.  We're an active, hands-on board.  We meet once a month and are very actively involved in organizational planning, budgeting, program planning, and discussing strategies for future expansion.   
 
We're looking for people with the following skill-sets: finance, legal, event planning, publicity, marketing and outreach, farming and land preservation, construction, communication, organizational leadership - and of course fundraising.  If you're interested in helping lead our organization, and if you can devote approx 3-4 hours per month, please email to Kristy Gregory at nativeplantfamily@comcast.net, and/or Harm Scherpbier at hscherpbier@gmail.com.  We'll set up a phone call, explain how the board works, talk about your interests, answer your questions - and you may want to join one of our board meetings to get to know our team.
 
Please consider taking an active role in leading Pennypack Farm.  These are exciting times - local farming is hot!  We look forward to hearing from you!
