Weekend Day Trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show!

With another big storm approaching (ughhh), it's tempting to get out of the house and do something different! One idea is to take a mini-day trip into the city for the Philadelphia Flower Show, hosted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center at 12th and Arch Streets.


This year's flower show will run from March 1st-March 9th and will be featuring special events including  a girls night out, wedding specials, and a black tie preview party! Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
One of my favorite attractions includes the miniature displays--this display is smaller than a shoebox!!

Living Hope Farm in Harleysville

Have you heard about the Living Hope Farm in Harleysville? Once we caught wind of this Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) venture, we were inspired to learn more and share the good works of the dedicated folks behind it! We were lucky to get in touch with their friendly Executive Director, Jill Landes, to learn a bit more about their mission:
 
The Living Hope Farm defines CSA as a method of farming that emphasizes safe, locally grown food with a real focus on supporting our local economy and engaging community members. Plus, anyone can join! By joining, you’re entitled to receive a variety of healthy produce each week (or every other week, depending on membership) and pick-your-own flowers and herbs too! You’ll also have the ability to spend some time on the farm, helping out & learning about CSA practices. Pretty awesome, right?
 
If you’re interested in other ways to support Living Hope Farm, consider checking out their market stand for naturally grown produce available to the public beginning in late May, or make a donation. They'll also be hosting a vegetable plant sale for the public this Saturday from 8am-noon! For more information, check out their website at www.livinghopefarm.org
 
And, of course, a big "Thank You!" to the hard-working team at Living Hope Farm. Thanks for being great neighbors and helping to make Montgomery County such a wonderful place to live.

Shop Locally This Valentine's Day!

Have you ever tried Asher's Chocolates? One of the nation's finest chocolatiers is right in our backyard, and their sweet treats make wonderful Valentine's Day gifts. Yum!

 Located on Wambold Rd in Franconia, Asher's Chocolates is a family-owned candy factory with incredible specialties. My favorite is their chocolate-covered graham crackers, and they can all be purchased at their factory's old-fashioned candy store or at Henning's in Harleysville.

Plus, Asher's has a reputation for being a responsible employer and community member. We're glad to have them in the neighborhood!
