Buy local

Buying local reduces transportation emissions and supports local businesses. It also helps keep your dollars in our local community. Check out this list of Chester County purveyors, see this map, or consult this guide.

Community supported agriculture (CSA) allows you to sign onto a steady supply of local produce and other items. The farm will stock a box or bin for you, and you’ll pick it up at designated intervals. Many variations exist – some are veggies, some are fruits, some are mixed, but all are super-fresh! Here are some CSAs in or near West Bradford, listed alphabetically:

     Down to Earth Harvest

     North Star Orchard

     Thornbury Farm

     Two Gander Farm

Don’t forget other sources of local produce, such as:

     Barnard’s Orchard

     Highland Orchards
