Learn more about some of the farms and farmers supplying the menu items for this year's Farm to Table.

Castle Valley Mill - Nestled along the banks of Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Castle Valley Mill has been milling grain since 1730. Built on land originally granted by William Penn, the mill has operated under several names throughout its long history, serving generations of local farmers and families. In 1947, master miller Henry Fischer purchased and restored the property, preserving both the historic structure and the traditional art of stone milling. His dedication to craftsmanship and restoration continues today through the ongoing stewardship of the Fischer family, who have carefully maintained and returned antique milling equipment to active use.

Today, Castle Valley Mill is committed to preserving the traditions of heritage grain milling while providing wholesome, nutritious foods for today's table. By slowly grinding grains on antique stone mills, sourcing local grains whenever possible, and producing products free from preservatives, the mill honors a simple philosophy: food should be natural, flavorful, and nourishing. Through its work, Castle Valley Mill seeks to connect people to the rich agricultural heritage of Bucks County, support local farming, and ensure that the craftsmanship, history, and values of traditional milling continue for future generations.

The Farm at Doe Run - Nestled on more than 600 acres in Chester County, Pennsylvania, The Farm at Doe Run is guided by a philosophy of simple, sustainable farming and thoughtful stewardship of the land. Their award-winning farmstead cheeses are crafted in small batches using rich whole milk from their own pasture-raised Jersey and Normande cows, along with seasonal milk from Nubian goats and East Friesian sheep. Every cheese reflects the rhythms of the seasons and the unique character of the farm.

At Doe Run, the connection between the animals, the land, and the food is at the heart of everything they do. Their herd of cows, goats, and sheep are grass-fed year-round and graze on pastures nourished by hay harvested right on the farm. By milking their own animals and producing cheese on-site, The Farm at Doe Run creates exceptional products that celebrate both the bounty of the region and a deep commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Gorgeous Goat Creamery - Gorgeous Goat Creamery began with an unexpected idea and a determination to farm sustainably. First-generation dairy farmers Maria Stewart and Matt Kriegler moved to New Jersey in 2016 and purchased a wooded property overrun with invasive plants. Seeking an environmentally friendly solution, they turned to goats to help restore the land. What started with a small herd for conservation quickly grew into something more when Maria, who holds a PhD in Nutrition Science, recognized both the exceptional nutritional value of goat milk and the lack of locally bottled goat milk available in New Jersey.

Inspired by the delicious milk and cheese produced by their first milking goat, Carmen, Maria and Matt founded Gorgeous Goat Creamery in 2020. Today, they transform their passion for animal care, land stewardship, and artisan food into high-quality goat dairy products that celebrate sustainable agriculture. From handcrafted cheeses and dairy products to educational farm experiences, Gorgeous Goat Creamery shares the joy of farming while proving that with grit, perseverance, and a few goats, something truly special can grow.

Maple Acres Farm Market - For more than a century, Maple Acres Farm has been a cornerstone of the Plymouth Meeting community. Purchased in 1916 and nurtured by four generations of the McKeown family, the farm has grown from 12 acres to 30 acres while remaining dedicated to agriculture, open space, and community connection. Today, Gary McKeown and his family continue to live and work on the farm, carrying forward a legacy that has made Maple Acres the last working farm in Plymouth Township.

For Gary, farming is more than a profession—it is a lifelong commitment to preserving the land and sharing its bounty with the community. In a rapidly developing region, he sees protecting this treasured open space as more important than ever. Thanks to the support of family, neighbors, and loyal customers, Maple Acres continues to provide fresh, locally grown food while honoring a tradition that has endured for over 100 years.

Tussock Sedge Farm - Tussock Sedge Farm has been a working Mennonite farm for more than 250 years. Nearly three decades ago, Henry and Charlotte Rosenberger began transforming the property into a model of regenerative agriculture, preserving open space, restoring wildlife habitat, planting thousands of trees, and raising 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Red Angus cattle through rotational grazing. What began as an 80-acre operation has grown to nearly 1,000 acres of protected farmland, helping preserve the agricultural heritage of the Philadelphia region while supporting neighboring farms and strengthening local food systems.

Today, the farm is managed by Tonya and Sean, who continue the family's commitment to caring for the land and animals with respect and integrity. Their philosophy is simple: work with nature, not against it. Livestock are raised on pasture where they can express their natural behaviors, without routine antibiotics, hormones, GMOs, or synthetic chemicals. Rather than relying on labels or certifications, the farm emphasizes transparency, humane practices, and a long-term approach to stewardship. The result is food produced with patience, care, and a deep respect for the land, animals, and community that make it possible.
