Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,

Don’t forget to eat healthy this time of year.  The holidays often induce quite a bit of stress and there is oh so much sugar to be consumed.  Eating greens and fresh produce will help to clean out the sugar and white flour from your body as well as help fight off the colds and flues floating around.

Below you will find the list for what you can order this week for pick up in West Reading.  If you are interested in purchasing our products in the Morgantown area please visit Hartz Natural Foods or Wyebrook Farms.

Our meats are available year round.  We just had 3 steer return from the butcher and have a full selection of roasts and steaks as well as ground beef, hot dogs and sausages.  All of our beef is 100% grass fed.  We do not finish the beef on corn and we never use artificial hormones or antibiotics.

Where to find our produce when market ends?

Dear Friends of B & H Organic Produce,

Today was the last day of the West Reading Farmer’s Market.

So very bittersweet.  I will thoroughly miss the amazing family of customers and other vendors from the market but will love sleeping in and going to church on Sunday mornings.

We still have a few fall crops in our fields.  If the weather holds out we will still be able to harvest in the field for another couple of weeks.  Usually we harvest into December however, last year I picked out of the field in January. 

We also have 2 greenhouses which we hope to be harvesting greens out of this coming January. 

Our meats are available year round.  We just had 3 steer return from the butcher and have a full selection of roasts and steaks as well as ground beef, hot dogs and sausages.  All of our beef is 100% grass fed.  We do not finish the beef on corn and we never use artificial hormones or antibiotics. 

We have whole chickens and parts available as well.
