I first heard of Haffey Family Farm at the Oakmont Farmers Market. I saw tables of their produce,…read moreand I, of course, wanted to buy some! The onions, cucumbers, potatoes, beets, corn, cabbages, zucchinis, blueberries, raspberries, plums, dill, peppers, etcetera looked so fresh! My husband commented that the prices were lower than what many grocery stores charge for lower-quality produce.
I bought one Jumbo Zucchini and two ears of corn. When I got home, I measured the zucchini, and it was about 15 inches long and had a circumference of 10.5 inches! I cooked one-third of the zucchini as a side for dinner for two people, and I liked that the zucchini had no blemishes and tasted so good. For the next meal, I cooked the corn. The corn was small to medium in size, but it was juicy and flavorful.
I decided to search for this farm online to learn more about it. According to the farm's website, it is a small, family-operated farm that is not USDA-certified organic, but it grows only non-GMO produce, and it uses organic farming practices. Organic--yay! :)
This farm's website said that customers may purchase the produce not only through the Oakmont Farmers Market but also through the Bellevue Farmers Market and the Cranberry Township Farmers Market.
Furthermore, this farm offers a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. The CSA prices vary based on the size of your family (e.g., individual/couple, small, or large) and if you sign up for a half season (8 weeks biweekly) or full season (16 weeks). Several pickup locations are available throughout the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.
