Horn Farm Happenings – June 16

HFC Farm Stand.

This season there are three ways you can get fresh produce grown here at the Horn Farm. Some people join our CSA and receive a weekly share of produce. Starting this Saturday, June 17, our Farm Stand will be open from 9 to 12. We will stock produce from our farmers: Kilgore Family Farm and the Horn Farm staff and interns. The third option is to pre-order fresh produce through our Online Farm Stand and pick up your pre-packed order at the farm on Saturday mornings from 9 to noon. Online orders can be placed Monday at noon through Thursday at noon. Produce availability will vary throughout the season.

In addition to opening the Farm Stand this Saturday, we will be starting our monthly farm tours. On the 3rd Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. we will be offering a tour of the farm. Dress for the weather and meet at the Corn Barn. All ages are welcome!

Cycle the SolsticeNext Saturday is our 3rd Annual Cycle the Solstice. Cycle the Solstice is a fun 10-, 20-, 30-, 62-, or 100-mile bike ride through York and Lancaster counties.There’s still time to register! Not a rider? We still need volunteers to help with parking, food, and rider support. Thanks!

Horn Farm Happenings – June 2

Horn Farm Work CrewWould you like to spend a few hours helping us on the farm? In response to multiple requests for opportunities to volunteer in return for some ‘farm therapy’, we’ve organized two ongoing events– on Tuesday evenings from 4 to 7 p.m. and mornings on the first Saturday of every month from 9 to noon. You’ll have the chance to experience the farm up close and personal as you help us with planting, mulching, weeding, and harvesting–whatever the season requires. Please let us know you plan to attend by signing up here. Thank you!
Speaking of volunteering, we are looking for people to help us prepare and serve the post-ride meal for Cycle the Solstice happening on June 24th. We need help on both June 23 and 24. More information and sign up is here.

Other events in June:
Foraging for Wild Edibles
Jams and Jellies
Weed Identification
Edible Flowers

See you at the Farm!
