July 7- 2008 - The farm is really producing now and weekly CSA pickups are bountiful. This past Sunday afternoon was our first market day where we offered extra produce for sale to the public.

June 1 - 2008 - Our first CSA pickup is happening this week! Members will receive Swiss Chard, lettuce mix, spinach, radishes and Tatsoi. Check out our weekly CSA newsletters on the CSA membership page.

May 13, 2008 - The farmshed garden is planted with herbs & native plants. Ground is being turned as conditions permit. Sowing and transplanting continues in earnest. Beets, potatoes, tomatoes, peas, carrots, brocolli, brocolli rabe, cabbage, kale, chard, radishes and other greens are in the ground. We think we are past the last frost of the season, so full steam ahead!

April 28, 2008 - Lots of seeds are sprouting in the fields, and thousands of cool weather crop seedlings have been transplanted from the greenhouse into the ground. More ground is being turned as weather permits. The Farmshed Garden planting boxes have been built and filled with soil, ready for planting.

April 14, 2008 - We've begun to till and plant! Peas, carrots & greens are sown, 1000's of seedlings are in the greenhouse. Farmshed fence is up and garden beds are built.

Welcome!  
Rushton Farm

We are excited to announce the launch of our long awaited Community Farm Program which will be growing food for the 2008 season. The program will be a model for sustainable agriculture and will celebrate open space and natural resource protection.

The 2008 pilot program will take place at Rushton Farm, a six acre field in Willistown Township that has never been exposed to pesticides or herbicides.
