New Member Orientation and Open House May 6th
by Dana Hunting
When -- Sunday May 6th, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (not April 29th)
Where -- Anchor Run Farm, 2578 2nd Street Pike, Wrightstown, PA 18940. Parking is available on site in a large stone lot at the end of the driveway. Importantly, please drive slowly in and out of the farm, there will be plenty of kids, adults, cats, and maybe a dog or two (on a leash) wandering around.
Who Should Attend -- New members who would like to check out the farm and learn more about how our CSA works before the harvest season starts. Returning members who want to spend time with their food community.
Why -- We'll be hosting field tours and pick-up room tours complete with ample time for Q&A sessions with the farmers and seasoned farm members. See what your food looks like before it reaches your kitchen, where your 'u-pick' crops will be this year, as well as how the pick-up room and workshifts function. There will be some snacks and light refreshments under the pavilion. So come on out and meet your farmers, mingle with the farm community, and enjoy some long awaited spring excitement!
Schedule of Events -- Field tours on the hour at 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00pm, and 1:00pm (departing from pavilion). Pick-up room tours on the half hour at 10:30am, 11:30am, 12:30pm, and 1:30pm (in the barn). The Q&A and light refreshments are all on-going.
Can't Make It? -- Farm staff will be present in the pick-up room on distribution days to help guide new members.
Directions and Bridge Closure -- The bridge immediately north of the farm on 2nd Street Pike (route 232) is temporarily closed for repairs. Alternate routes abound if you're approaching from that direction. If heading south on 413 from Buckingham take a right on Township Line Road, a left on Cherry Lane, then a left on 2nd Street Pike. If heading north on 413 from Newtown take a left on Penns Park Road then a right on 2nd Street Pike. If heading south on route 232 from New Hope it looks like taking a right on Pine Lane to Township Line Road is best. Consult
Google Maps for more help. The bridge is scheduled to reopen in June.
