farm stands (Allentown, Easton, Coplay: co-op, school, organic)

[rheannad]

hello everyone,
just moved back to the area after several years and I am interested in finding a farm stand or a farm that sells locally grown produce in the lehigh valley. I live in Easton, anything close to there? i have been to Klein Farms and Cold Spring Farms in Martins Creek/Forks township. Both are great, but I am looking for a place with a lot more selection. I am pretty familiar with the nazareth bethlehem area too, so if you mention a road I will probably recognize it. Thank you!
Or, if are there any grocery stores that carry local produce?

This is probably the biggest and best in Easton: Easton Farmer's Market I think most of the local markets will have some local produce off and on but I don't know of any where you can count on it daily. This thread http://www.city-data.com/forum/lehig...see-do-lv.html just down the page a bit, mentions some other local markets.

Easton used to do a farm mart in the circle once a week? I don't know what day, but it is local produce...I think as you reaquaint yourself, you'll find many produce stands right in your area on back roads and such, and there is always the Ritz in the Allentown Fairgrounds.

Welcome back...

Hi Terry,
thank you so much for this info. We actually stopped by your farm last week! We just stumbled upon in and really love your farm! We will be applying for the CSA for next season. We belonged to a co-op in Montana and enjoyed tons of local veggies while living in seattle. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to providing your community with good safe food!
