The warnings of inclement weather didn’t stop dedicated volunteers and staff from running our Haddington and Rittenhouse farmstands this weekend, and shoppers were happy to skip the long lines at the grocery store to get fresh local produce! Pictured above: Joann and Dylan at the bountiful farmstand at 53rd and Poplar Streets, West Philadelphia.

We will be at Rittenhouse and our Haddington farmstand this weekend but not Overbrook. Jamal and Colon will be holding down the fort at Overbrook this week.
Brother and sister Kalib and Kessiah, children of one of Neighborhood Foods founders Shamara, helped out at the Rittenhouse market last Saturday.

Check out our heirloom Tomatoes at Green Aisle, an awesome market down on Passyunk. They are very supportive of our farm and are doing awesome things to support the local foods movement.
It was a great weekend for a celebration of food and community in Haddington at this Saturday's farmstand.
