Penn’s Corner delivers weekly boxes of farm fresh produce to neighborhoods all around Pittsburgh. With a CSA membership, you will also receive a weekly e-newsletter with recipes, cooking information, and a list of what will be in the box that coming week.  The Greenfield CSA delivery is on Tuesday afternoons starting in April.  Each box will have between 8-10+ items a week. Almost every week will include seasonal fruit and another non-vegetable items such as gourmet mushrooms, wild honey, free-range eggs, local cheese, or fresh pasta.

Penn’s Corner also holds monthly Farm Stand sales throughout the year.  These sales are open to CSA members and non-members alike.  Each month a product list is generated based on what our farms have available that month.  Customers pre-order items by email, and orders are taken on a first come, first served basis.  Orders are then picked up at the Farm Stand location in Squirrel Hill on the designated day.

Products that are likely to be included in our February Farm Stand include locally raised meats, honey, shallots, fresh pastas, apples, greens, herbs, winter squash that has been processed for baking, and fresh breads.  The product list is sent out to people on the mailing list so if you would like to get information about when Farm Stands are scheduled or what items are available each month, visit Penn’s Corner’s website and sign up to be on their general mailing list.
