Today, family members grow vegetables such as corn and fruits such as apples. According to the family's website, they use both conventional and organic farming practices. On the farm's website, I also read that throughout the year, Shenot Farm offers events such as hayrides; pick-your-own flowers, apples, and pumpkins; and pumpkin-smashes. In the autumn they sell flowers, pumpkins, cornstalks, Thanksgiving turkeys, and fruit baskets, and in the winter they sell Christmas trees and wreaths. On a Saturday, my husband and I visited this farm's market to browse their foods. We parked our vehicle in their free parking lot. Inside the market, we saw foods such as lettuce, cabbage, green beans, brussels sprouts, beets, plums, sausages, chicken meats, eggs, milk, cheeses, apple ciders, cookies, pies, fudges, popcorns, jams, bread loaves, bagels, seasonings, sauces and dressings, salsas, applesauces, syrups, dessert mixes, granolas, teas, honeys, ice creams, etcetera! We also saw some non-food items such as candles and t-shirts. I selected an orange-colored "cheddar" cauliflower head, apple crisp mix, caramel-apple-pie fudge, and jars of banana butter, strawberry jelly, and apple butter. My husband and I had not previously eaten a few of the unique products, so we felt excited to try them. At the checkout counter, an employee promptly greeted us, accurately rang up our purchase, carefully bagged our foods, and thanked us. Each food cost roughly several dollars.

I first heard of Haffey Family Farm at the Oakmont Farmers Market. I saw tables of their produce,…read moreand I, of course, wanted to buy some! The onions, cucumbers, potatoes, beets, corn, cabbages, zucchinis, blueberries, raspberries, plums, dill, peppers, etcetera looked so fresh! My husband commented that the prices were lower than what many grocery stores charge for lower-quality produce. I bought one Jumbo Zucchini and two ears of corn. When I got home, I measured the zucchini, and it was about 15 inches long and had a circumference of 10.5 inches! I cooked one-third of the zucchini as a side for dinner for two people, and I liked that the zucchini had no blemishes and tasted so good. For the next meal, I cooked the corn. The corn was small to medium in size, but it was juicy and flavorful. I decided to search for this farm online to learn more about it. According to the farm's website, it is a small, family-operated farm that is not USDA-certified organic, but it grows only non-GMO produce, and it uses organic farming practices. Organic--yay! :) This farm's website said that customers may purchase the produce not only through the Oakmont Farmers Market but also through the Bellevue Farmers Market and the Cranberry Township Farmers Market. Furthermore, this farm offers a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. The CSA prices vary based on the size of your family (e.g., individual/couple, small, or large) and if you sign up for a half season (8 weeks biweekly) or full season (16 weeks). Several pickup locations are available throughout the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

I was lucky enough to get a little goodie bag from them during the Yelp event tonight at the Cranberry Farmers Market. I turned around and bought a pint of some the best looking strawberries that I've seen in quite awhile. I was there late and their produce was flying off the table. But what was left looked really fresh and delicious. They were really friendly as well. I will be back to get my fresh produce. Remember to support locale farmers.

Leckwart Farm Market is the kind of great surprise you come across occasionally, while driving the…read morehills and dales of West PA, on a beautiful sunny summer day. It's completely family owned and operated, brand new (replacing their prior market) and clean and stocked with the produce that THEY grow. And, right now, the best sweet corn i have had in four years. Get to Leckwart's, they pick the sweet corn at that perfect medium size, when the tassels just begin to turn brown, and the sweetness is at its highest. (I grew up in Canfield township. I know corn. That's kind of a joke, but i do know corn) As well as the cantaloupe i bought! LITERALLY, the best cantaloupe I've had this season. The stem end just smelled sweet as heck, and it was. So, basically, me and the wife ate vegan today. Not on purpose, but we ate all the corn, then killed that cantaloupe. It was epic... The service, the conversation, it was all nice.

The market is just okay, nothing special. When we first walked in, we were very surprised how…read morelimited the products were. Based on what we heard it was not what we expected. We like jam and we purchased several different kinds. What they call "jam" is not jam. At best it's jelly and it is so gelatinous it's terrible. It's much like jello but much more stiff. The taste is not all that good. They need to try it themselves and get a new supplier. Some of the "staff" is friendly others so so. The store has the nice country store feel and look. That is very nice. If your mainly going for vegetables, they are good quality but very limited on selection.

The orchard is beautiful, and it was easy and fun to pick a lot of terrific cherries. The prices are very reasonable, and the cherries are delicious! There was also apple butter and honey for sale. We bought a jar of apple butter, and it was terrific! I highly recommend this experience.

Twin Hills Farm is a small family-owned farm that opened in 2015. They raise animals and grow…read moreproduce, and they sell their eggs, meats, and some produce to the public. The family feeds their hens a 100% organic soy-free feed and gives them access to open pastures for 365 days per year. They feed their berkshire pigs a 100% organic soy-free feed and put them on pasture year-round. They feed their belted galloway cattle 100% grass and hay on open pastures. They do not administer any hormones or antibiotics to their animals. So far, I have purchased this farm's chicken eggs, ham, chuck roast, and rump roast. I made the purchases through the website Market Wagon. My husband, dog, and I greatly enjoyed the freshness and flavors of all of these foods. Examples of this farm's other foods are steaks, ribs, ground beef, hotdogs, sausage, kielbasa, green peppers, and banana peppers. I feel happy that this family takes such excellent care of their animals and that their foods are such a high quality, so I will continue to buy their foods in the future.
