Pennsylvania Grown Fruit & Produce

Weaver’s Orchard Fresh Produce in our Farm Market

The orchard farm market features delicious produce fresh from our own farm in season. Our berries, peaches and apples are known throughout the region for their delicious taste and excellent quality.

We are committed to selling you high quality, local foods from our own farm and other Pennsylvania farms whenever possible. When we cannot provide you with products grown on our farm, we first turn to farms in our immediate tri-county area. These farms are not always the same week-to-week, but a few of the farms we offer products from are Gristmill Vegetable Farm in New Holland and Leon Martin Produce in Blue Ball. We also source summer vegetables from Weaverland Produce Auction in Blue Ball.

It is our goal to provide products from other farms with the same values as us as far as quality and limited use of pesticides. We keep our shelves stocked with produce year-round, so we do import produce when it is not available locally.

Several items can be grown locally all winter, such as mushrooms, butterhead lettuce, pea shoots and our own greenhouse tomatoes, available in February. We also have local potatoes throughout most of the winter.

Items grown on our farm in season include:

	Strawberries
	Sour & Sweet Cherries
	Black & Red Raspberries
	Blueberries
	Plums
	Blackberries
	Peaches
	Nectarines
	Cantaloupe
	Sweet Corn
	Tomatoes
	Watermelon
	Concord Grapes
	Apples
