We are an on-farm CSA just south of Phoenixville, PA. We started in 2002 with a mission to provide our community with naturally grown, pesticide free food and to create a farm that members could call their own.
We harvest most of the share but also have beautiful U-pick gardens where members can pick flowers, herbs, small fruits, cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, beans and peas.
It is our hope that our farm creates an appreciation for the value of productive farmland in suburban Philadelphia.
Plastic bags are no match for the Vejibag, an ingenious produce keeper that’s made of American-grown organic cotton. This sustainable vegetable bag gives produce the humidity it needs, keeping it fresh and crisp far longer than plastic. A beautiful, natural product for better eating.
Vejibags have always been made with the finest US grown and milled organic cotton french terry knit. They are sewn at a worker-owned facility in Valdese, NC, and as always they are free from dyes or chemicals. Everything about Vejibag was, and remains, good.

Offering workshops in botanical painting and food photography, as well as an online store of hand-carved wooden spoons, food photographs, and greeting cards of Cara’s botanical paintings.
About Cara Cummings: I grew up in the mountains of Santa Barbara, California, in a community of inspired people who often came together to cook, eat, and make art. After completing a degree in biology—which is also where my passion for botanical painting came from—I ran a website design business, raised two daughters, and completed a Master’s degree in environmental science and policy at Columbia University in 2010.
In 2012 I arrived in Illinois and I immersed myself in the local food scene, volunteering at Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery in Champaign, frequenting the Urbana Farmers’ Market, joining the Slow Food Champaign-Urbana board, becoming an owner of the Common Ground Food Co-op, and am now the executive director at The Land Connection.
My free time is spent in my garden in Champaign, Illinois where the lawn continues to get smaller and the vegetable growing space gets bigger with my dog Francis, my urban chickens, a sweet woodshop and painting studio, and my partner (who puts up with my never- ending stream of new ideas and projects), John.
Repreve is a recycled fiber that contains recycled materials—including used plastic bottles.
But not all recycled fibers are created equal. There are other recycled fibers out there, but there’s only one Repreve.
It took years to develop the process that makes Repreve a leading recycled yarn. We tightly manage every step, and pass strict annual recycled certifications by outside third parties. With our strict quality standards, Repreve recycled fibers are “first quality,” so they look good and feel soft and comfortable when made into fabrics. That’s why, when you see products made with Repreve, it’s important to remember: It’s what’s in it that matters.
Repreve conserves resources because it offsets the need to use newly refined crude oil. Oil refining is a complex industrial process that turns crude oil into a multitude of petroleum-based products. Some of these products are then made into ingredients that go into synthetic fibers. Compared to making virgin synthetic fibers, Repreve uses less energy and water, and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Repreve is made by a US-based company, Unifi, Inc., a global
leader in innovative textile solutions. Our commitment to sustainable manufacturing goes beyond making Repreve.
More than a cutting board, this versatile product does not only offer a surface for chopping and cutting, but it can also be bended to become a scoop so you can easily drop your food pieces or veggies directly into the pan.
