Pennypack PickingsVolume 14, Issue 3 | April 10, 2016

The Pennypack Farm team braved a snowy spring day on Saturday, April 9, to Walk Against Hunger. There's still time to support the team and help reach our fundraising goal.
 
DONATE TODAY

Many local food cupboards are stocked with nonperishable food items, and don't have many fresh vegetables available. 

The funds raised with your donation will support CSA shares for low-income families AND will help provide fresh produce for local food pantries!
