From Market Garden to Just a Garden
W Rockhill will not be farming this season
The time has come to put farming aside and invest our time and attention in what’s next. It has been a pleasure and an honor to have grown for and with all you fine folks for the past five years. Growing with Perkasie Farmers Market and building these bonds has been a unique and immeasurable treasure, which makes this piece bittersweet. We have enjoyed getting to know each of you at Market, at farmstand pickups and sharing in the ups and downs of each season.
Being able to provide your weekly meals and bright floral treats, to have wild and winding conversations about farming, food and life has been an honor and a pleasure. Amid the challenges of farming and life in our world, our time connecting with our community has made the entire experience that much more fulfilling and worthwhile.
W Rockhill started from scratch just five years ago and has offered us so much more than just the bounty of a veggie patch - it has grown a kind community beyond the bounds of a weekly farmer’s market. We don’t quite know where and how we’ll land next, but the experience we’ve shared with each of you has shown us that it will be bright.
We do have plenty of friends to recommend this season to supply all your floral and veggie needs. Our Perkasie Market shoppers will know Wild Blossom Farm for their fabulous organically grown vegetables and delightful Market pup. Moongate Farm offers an array of gorgeous blooms - fresh, dried and preserved in the form of jewelry - in addition to just-picked produce. Keep an eye out for BlackBird Farms at Market as well for certified organic goods and great vibes. And of course, right down the road you’ll find Clean Green Growers offering great goods on-site and at market around the region.
We wish you all an amazing spring and hope to see you around soon.
Really and truly, thank you for every thing.
Take care.
Regards,
Rosemary + Pete
