See pages 47-54. 2 Join a CSA or Farm Share Community Supported Agriculture and Farm Share programs make it easy to eat more fresh vegetables. Sign up for a weekly share of the harvest, either picked up at the farm or delivered to your neighborhood or workplace. See pages 55-60. 3 Visit a Farm Stand or Market Enjoy the on-farm experience! Our local farms offer a number of hands-on activities, including Pick-Your-Own (PYO) operations, corn mazes, petting zoos, and outdoor pizza ovens. Bring the kids and have some fun! See pages 16-43. 4 Visit a Local Winery There are many family-owned and -operated vineyards and wineries in the Greater Lehigh Valley. Come out and taste the wines that have won countless regional, state, national, and international awards. See pages 63-65. 5 Look for Local Products in Stores Many grocery and health food stores are offering locally grown products. Make a point to look for them, and if you don’t see them, ask the store to start providing them. See pages 66-68. 6 Patronize Restaurants that Use Locally Grown Foods The best restaurants in the Greater Lehigh Valley are choosing fresh, local ingredients for their menus. The next time you visit, thank them for supporting our farmers! See pages 69-76. 7 Eat Locally Grown at Work & School Our local colleges, universities, corporations, and hospitals are learning about what’s grown here in the Greater Lehigh Valley and including more locally grown items in their dining rooms. See pages 77-81. BuyLocalGreaterLehighValley.org 7 Buying Locally Grown Foods Makes Dollars & Sense Your food choices make a BIG DIFFERENCE to our local economy. $2.7B <1% Greater Lehigh Valley residents spend $2.7 billion on food each year. But we only spend about $1 per week on locally grown foods. What if we spent $10 each week on locally grown foods? When we support our farmers, we support our local community. $ Tractors, Seeds, Supplies $ $ $ $ Banks, $ $ $ Employees $ $ $ Accountants, other services $ $ $ Local Businesses (Restaurants, Stores, Entertainment) Spending just $10 each week on locally grown foods would generate $300 million annually for our local economy! 8 BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 BuyLocalGreaterLehighValley.org 9 What is Local? There is no set definition of “local food;” it means different things to different people. Although the name clearly refers to a geographical distance in close proximity to the consumer, “local food” implies so much more. Your opinion matters. Your voice matters. Nurture Nature Center, a science-based community center in downtown Easton, is conducting a survey of Easton residents and leaders to learn what environmental issues are most important to Easton residents. We need YOUR input! At BFBLGLV, our definition of local is food grown or raised within the Greater Lehigh Valley. This includes Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties, TWIN M APLE FARMS AT THE BATH as well as areas adjacent FARMERS ’ M AR - Bangor Wind Gap to the Valley.KET NORTHAMPTON Nazareth 33 LEHIGH 22 476 Allentown Easton Bethlehem 78 Kutztown 78 Emmaus BERKS To us, being local means that the farm is close enough that you can visit it and talk to the farmer about their farming practices. Production methods will vary among farmers, and which practices are important will vary among consumers. What’s important to you? Is it taste and freshness?

Pastured animals? Supporting family farms? Or building the local economy? Our goal is to help you learn what’s available and how it was grown or raised so that you can make an educated decision about what’s right for you and your family. 10 BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 518 Northampton St. Easton, PA • 610-253-4432 www.nurturenaturecenter.org This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant MA-20-14-0417-14. Farming Practices CERTIFICATIONS CERTIFIED ORGANIC All products sold as “organic” must meet the USDA National Organic Program production and handling standards. Certification is mandatory for farmers using the word “organic” and selling more than $5,000 of organic products per year, and includes annual submission of an organic system plan and inspection of farm fields and processing facilities to verify that organic practices and record keeping are being followed. CERTIFIED NATURALLY GROWN Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) products are certified by an independent nonprofit organization (not USDA) as having been produced in accordance with national organic standards. This program involves fewer paperwork requirements and lower certification fees for farmers than the USDA’s National Organic Program. CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC Biodynamic farming is based on the work of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Certified by Demeter-USA, Biodynamic farms must comply with USDA organic regulations and also meet additional Demeter requirements. Biodynamic agriculture uses an astrological planting calendar and special preparations that enhance soil quality and photosynthesis.

YOGA PILATES MASSAGE EVENTS 336 Bushkill St, Tatamy, PA 18085 | llantrisantretreat.com | 484-546-4979 BuyLocalGreaterLehighValley.org 13 Other Farming Practices The best way to understand which farming practices are being used is to talk to your farmers. Ask them questions about what they use to amend the soil, what they feed their livestock, how they deal with pests, whether crops are rotated, and if cover crops are used. ANTIBIOTIC-FREE Antibiotics are often fed to healthy animals such as cows, hogs, sheep, and chickens to prevent disease and stimulate growth. “No antibiotics” implies that a farmer does not administer antibiotics to his/her animals. FREE-RANGE Free-range and free-roaming imply that a product comes from an animal that was raised unconfined and free to roam. “Free-range” claims on beef and eggs are unregulated, but USDA requires that poultry have access to the outdoors for an undetermined period each day. GMO-FREE A GMO (genetically modified organism) is an organism, such as a plant or animal, whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques allow selected genes to be transferred from one organism to another, often across species, which does not occur in nature or in traditional cross-breeding techniques. GMOs may also be called GE (genetically engineered) organisms. The following GMO crops are currently in production in the US: alfalfa, apples, canola, corn, cotton, papaya, soy, sugar beets, yellow summer squash, and zucchini. Animal feed may contain GMO grains. Prepared foods may contain GMO sugar or other ingredients. Ask the individual vendors about their practices and ingredients. If products are Certified Organic, they are GMO-free: organic certification rules prohibit the use of GMOs. NATURALLY-GROWN/ALL NATURAL USDA guidelines state that all “natural” meat and poultry products can only undergo minimal processing and cannot contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, or other artificial ingredients. The claim “natural” is otherwise unregulated. NO SPRAY/PESTICIDE-FREE While a farm may not be organic, “no spray” or “pesticide-free” indicates that no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides (organic or synthetic) have been applied to the crop at any point in its production. PASTURED The diet of grass-fed animals consists of freshly-grazed pasture during the growing season and stored grasses (hay or grass silage) during the winter months or drought conditions. Grass feeding is used with cows, sheep, goats, and bison. 100% PASTURED means that no grains have been fed to the animals. Pigs and poultry cannot survive on pasture alone. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE Farming that is socially just, humane, economically viable, and environmentally sound. The term is unregulated. USE ONLY ORGANIC PRODUCTS Many of our local farmers follow the USDA National Organic Program standards but are not certified by the USDA due to the expense and time requirements. These farmers are not allowed to describe their products as “organic” without the certification; however, these farms use ONLY amendments, fertilizers, and pest controls as approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). HORMONE-FREE Typically refers to dairy products that are free of recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH, rBST), which is commonly used in commercial operations to speed the animal’s growth rate or increase milk production. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) A pest management strategy that uses both organic and synthetic pest controls, but aims to reduce their use through careful monitoring for actual pest threats. Synthetic pesticides are applied in such a way that they pose the least possible hazard, and are used as a ‘last resort’ when other controls are inadequate. 14 BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 514 Fullerton Avenue | Whitehall, PA 18052 | www.hittingerfinancial.com 610.433.7567 Securities offered through LPL Financial Member FINRA/SIPC Investment advice offered through Private Advisor Group, a registered investment advisor and separate entity from LPL Financial BuyLocalGreaterLehighValley.org 15 Key to Farm Listings Products grown and sold by the farm are illustrated with the representative icons shown below.

In 1930, Ben’s great-great uncle planted the first apple trees on the Scholl family’s Center Street property in Bethlehem. Ben’s grandfather moved onto the property in 1948 and began selling the apples and cider to the public. Ben’s parents, George & Faith, took over in 1952, built the farm market, and purchased a second farm in Kempton where they planted more apples and peaches. In recent years, the Scholls have seen a greater demand for locally grown foods. The demand has increased so much that four years ago, Ben was able to join his Dad and brother Jake as a full-time farmer! When you choose locally grown foods, you’re helping to make farming more profitable and ensuring that farms and farmers will be able to continue providing healthy, flavorful food for future generations.

We were Also Available at: Cherry Valley Festival, Easton Winter Market ing like so many beginning first generation farmers around us: by optimism and by accident. We were college-educated passionate beings looking for meaningful work that would challenge our minds, strengthen our bodies, and heighten our experience of the natural world, while serving the communities around us—while doing “good work.” After our initial captivated by the challenging and dynamic labor of farming, but more than having a farming “experience,” we wanted to wholly engage in the art of farming—to build diverse agrarian communities around good food, to educate the next generation about caring for their bodies and brains through their food choices, and to grow food using sustainable practices to care for the soil and surrounding ecosystems. So began Good Work Farm, a 100-member horse-powered CSA vegetable farm focusing on producing sustainable produce of exceptional taste and quality, and raising animals in a humane and respectful way. BFBLGLV’s work is helping us expand and enrich our farm business, building an economically viable and sustainable farm that can continue to serve the community of eaters who surround us. 28 —Lisa Miskelly, Farmer, Good Work Farm BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 BFBLGLV Farms Josie Porter Farm CSA Keepsake Farm & Dairy John & Amanda Place 703 W High St, Nazareth 18064 Northampton County 610-365-3310, [email protected] keepsakefarm.com We take a fresh look and approach to raising wholesome food in a natural environment.

The USDA defines producer-only markets as those in which the vendors must grow at least some of the product sold. Typically, each producer-only farmers’ market has specific rules governing the producer-only status. Some have strict rules banning any reselling at their market while others allow vendors to sell products obtained from other farms according to market by-laws, such as labeling clearly the farm source. 50 BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 BuyLocalGreaterLehighValley.org 51 BFBLGLV Farmers’ Markets Emmaus Farmers’ Market Sundays 10 am-2 pm; Apr (Sunday after Easter)–Dec 2nd and 4th Sunday (except Easter) 10 am-12 pm; Jan–Mar National Penn Bank Lot, 235 Main St, Emmaus 18049 Liz Wyant [email protected] emmausmarket.com fb: EmmausFarmersMarket The Emmaus Farmers’ Market is a 100% producer-only market, featuring over 20 local farmers and prepared food vendors.

BFBLGLV CSAs Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market CSAs and Farm Shares With COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA), a consumer purchases a share (aka a "membership" or a “subscription”) in the farm’s harvest in the spring and, in return, receives a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the growing season. This arrangement gets money to farmers early in the season, which helps with a farm’s cash flow. Shares are usually picked up at the farm, although many farmers also have additional pick-up locations. FARM SHARES AND ASCS (Agriculture Supporting Community) are similar to CSAs in that members receive a weekly box of produce. Farms Shares, however, are typically delivered to low-income neighborhoods, and members are allowed to pay for their deliveries at pick-up time. This makes fresh, local produce more accessible to people who may not be able to pay for the shares up front. SNAP benefits may also be used to pay for the weekly shares. BUYING CLUBS are a market-style CSA. Rather than receiving a standard box of vegetables each week, members visit the farm and choose the produce of their choice.

Anyone interested in working on local hunger/food insufficiency issues in the Easton area is welcome. Members are invited to join three working groups: Advocacy and Awareness, Community Resource Coordination, Fresh Food Access/Food Supply. We also provide speakers and showings of “A Place at the Table,” a documentary film about hunger across America. EASTON COMMUNITY GARDENS sponsored by the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership (WWNP), grow and distribute fresh produce in the Easton area, particularly to the West Ward. The program consists of the following gardens: • River Gardens(three sites) –along the edge of the Lehigh River • Home Site Gardens (seven sites) – communal gardens established on residential premises • Community Network Gardens (fi ve sites) –publicly accessed through City of Easton streets and parks, including the Easton Urban Farm Residents are encouraged to join the program to learn how to grow their own produce, incorporate new vegetables into their meals, and gather as a community. For more information contact Sophia Feller at 610-515-0891 or on facebook at West Ward Neighborhood Partnership. Easton Hunger Coalition THE VEGGIE VAN 668 Northampton St, Easton, is a partnership between the WWNP and Lafayette College Vegetables in Community (VIC) program. A farm stand is set up once a week during the growing season where freshly harvested produce grown primarily by volunteers at the Easton Urban Farm is offered to the community for a small donation. In 2014, the Veggie Van program provided more than 4,000 pounds of produce over a 10-week period. The Veggie Van partnership includes nutrition information, tastings, and recipes, as well as gardening advice. For schedule, call 610-515-0891. PROJECT OF EASTON’S INTERFAITH FOOD PANTRY 330 Ferry St, Easton, provides fresh, local seasonal produce via the Easton Farmers’ Market (end of market day donation collections), the Nazareth Food Bank, and from volunteer gardeners who donate their harvest. 2,500 pounds of produce from the Easton Urban Farm and Easton Community gardens were donated to community agencies and local food pantries for direct distribution to their clients. This supplements produce items from Second Harvest Food Bank and Giant supermarket.

For more information, visit eastonhungercoalition.org Choose from “I NEED HELP” and “I CAN HELP.” Eating fresh, healthy food doesn’t have to be expensive. Numerous studies have shown that prices for fresh, local produce at the height of season are often cheaper than those at grocery stores. Here are some ideas that may help keep the costs down. Buy In Bulk and Preserve the Harvest. Local growers often offer discounts on cases. Purchase larger amounts during peak season, then freeze, dry, can, pickle, or ferment so you can still enjoy all the flavor in the off-season. Cook with Whole Foods. Creating meals from whole foods is more nutritious and often less expensive than buying processed foods. Use FMNP Vouchers. Low-income Seniors (age 60+) and WIC recipients may be eligible for four $5 Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) vouchers per year, which can be used to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs at producer-only farmers’ markets and farm stands. WIC recipients should ask about FMNP vouchers during their quarterly WIC visit during the months of May to September. Seniors should contact their County Agency on Aging for distribution sites and eligibility beginning at the end of May. Berks County 610-478-6500. Lehigh County 610-782-3200. Northampton County 610-829-4520 Grow Your Own. Start a garden and harvest the freshest pro- duce possible! You don’t need a large yard. Nurture Nature Center’s Urban Recycle Garden demonstrates low-cost growing techniques for small urban areas such as walls, balconies, and small paved spaces. And there are numerous community gardens in the Greater Lehigh Valley, including the Easton Community Gardens sponsored by the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership (15 sites), CedarBrook and Jordan Creek Parkway Community Gardens organized by the Bureau of Farmland Preservation in Lehigh County, and The Berks Conservancy’s Berks Urban Greening (BUG) Community Gardening Program (9 sites). Join a Farm Share. Sign up for a weekly share of a farm’s har- vest. Unlike a CSA, members do not have to pre-pay the full subscription fee at the start of the season, and members can pay with SNAP benefits. Incentives may be available. Farm Share listings are on p.56. Learn the Harvest Season. See our Harvest Calendar on p.44 to understand the seasons. Fresh fruits and vegetables cost less when they are most abundant. Use SNAP Benefits. Many local farmers accept SNAP Benefits (EBT Access Card) as payment. Both the Bath and Easton Farmers’ Markets have market-wide EBT programs. At other markets and farm stands, individual farmers may be registered to accept SNAP. SNAP can be used to purchase foods for the household to eat, such as fruits and vegetables, bread, meats, poultry, and dairy products, as well as seeds and plants that produce food for the household to eat. Work for Food. Volunteer on a farm in exchange for food. 62 BFBLGLV Local Foods Guide 2015-2017 Bank Street Creamery Brooks Minnick 15 S Bank St, Easton 18042 Northampton County 610-252-5544 [email protected] bankstreetcreamery.com fb: bank street creamery The Bank Street Creamery has been serving loyal customers since 1998.

She loves bacteria, mold and yeast equally, and is inspired by the French and Belgian traditions of developing a cheese’s character through the rind. She handcrafts each cheese with special attention to texture, and is always excited about allowing the terroir of the region—that sweet, bright creaminess that can only come from fully grass-fed herds of cows and sheep—to shine. She finds it fitting to name her cheeses after those pesky PA weeds in the pasture: they represent the humble and unconquerable vegetation of our beloved home state —and they, too, are part of the terroir of the land.

Located on a stately hillside in Lower Mount Bethel Township, overlooking the Delaware River Valley, the vines took well to our soils and climate and began to flourish. Our family-owned winery, established in 1982, was a natural outgrowth of our viticultural pursuits and completed the cycle from new vines to finished wines. We are very proud to offer the fruits of our labor directly to the people. Please feel free to visit us at any of our four locations. Taste and Enjoy!
