Summer Farm Tour Series Continues Wednesday at Shady Brook

The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance will hold its third event in a summer series of farm evenings this Wednesday, Aug. 3 at Shady Brook Farm.

The summer farm evenings feature a potluck supper at 6:30 p.m. followed by a farmer-guided tour at 7:30 p.m.

Shady Brook Farm is a family-owned and operated farm, market, garden and agritainment center in Yardley. It opened its first retail market in 1984, offering pick-your-own strawberries, and in 1992, presented its first “agritainment” attraction -- a haunted hayride.

Today, fourth-generation Fleming brothers David Jr. and Paul run the business.

Paul manages farming operations in Yardley while Dave oversees retail and wholesale operations at the Lower Makefield farm market and The Market at Delaware Valley College by Shady Brook Farm. The rest of the family is involved in several areas. Shady Brook also sells seasonal vegetables and berries at local farmers’ markets, including the Wrightstown Farmers’ Market.

There is no charge and no need to register for the event. Just bring a picnic dish to share and your own beverages, eating equipment and seating. Organizers also suggest wearing sturdy shoes.

This event is appropriate for all ages, including school-aged children who are under adult’s supervision.

Shady Brook Farm is located at 931 Stony Hill Road. If using GPS, use “Morrisville 19067” as the city and zip.

If the event is cancelled due to extreme weather (thunderstorms, flooding), information will be posted on the BCFA website, www.BucksCountyFoodshedAlliance.org.
