ANCHOR RUN FARM 


Anchor Run Farm in Bucks County, PA

What is a CSA

        CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Usually you can find a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits cultivated by CSA that has the best health benefits. As a member you get fresh organic vegetables all season long. I became a member of the Anchor Run Farm in Wrightstown, PA this year. It was one of my favorite activities last summer and fall. I fully enjoyed picking my own vegetables and helping on the farm. The farmers and members of the Anchor Run were very nice and friendly. 

       There were quite a few activities on the farm such as helping farmers to pick vegetables, fruits, harvesting garlic, winter squash, and weeding farm fields. It was fun activities getting involved in the community, though it can be really tiresome when working under the sun for a few hours. I also enjoyed cooking with various of types vegetables I was familiar with or never used before. I especially liked the freshly picked garlic. Yum! 

      Here are some pictures while I was helping in the farm this year.
