LANCASTER FARM FRESH COOPERATIVE – Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Since the day a produce manager for Whole Foods Market in New York City tasted his first bite of organic asparagus from Pennsylvania, he was determined to get the product into his store. He traced the asparagus back to a small Amish family farm in Lancaster County and drove down there the next week to seal the deal. With the help of the non-profit cooperative Lancaster Farm Fresh, Whole Foods Market began to work with this farm and 40 other Amish and Mennonite growers from the area. All the produce sold through Lancaster Farm Fresh is raised on small family farms and is certified organic.

Yay for LFFC! We absolutely love our CSA season-long farm-share with this dynamic cooperative! This is our second year with them and it’s only gotten better.
So great to see this little feature through Whole Foods!
Thanks for great farm-fresh food LFFC!

I am very familiar with Lancaster County fresh produce agriculture – and yes it is some of the most fertile land around. It is so great to see a continued transition to Organic – sustainably, profitably – giving a new generation of Amish and Conservative Mennonite farmers an opportunity to stay on the family farms.

I spent 3 of the most beautiful summers of my preteen years at Camp Oak Hill in Lancaster, PA. The camp was adjacent to a farm. The owner allowed us to walk and explore on his farm and some of us learned to ride their horses. Our food (some of which I would only eat there) was wonderful! Mom was surprised that my sister and I were looking so healthy and that we ate all of the food prepared for us. Years later I learned from Mom that the farmer grew their food the same way as her Grandmother, which today we call organic. My family loves your veg – thank you.
