In addition to our CSA program offerings, we sell our fresh produce,
our own unique products
and locally sourced, quality farm products
on a retail basis.
Naturally grown fresh vegetables and naturally or IPM grown fruits
along with Vollmecke
Orchards products made with our own
ingredients: our fruit butters
(apple, peach and pumpkin), our
apple sauces (original and red
raspberry) and our newest creation,
Mrs. V’s Pasta Sauce, are
offered to retail customers.
From our farming neighbors, we offer Highspire Hills farms brown eggs,
Swarmbustin’ honeys, Dr. Elkins Angus burger (ground beef), several varieties of cheese and yogurt made from the milk of pasture raised cows and goats and other quality items when we can get them.
We are open for walk-in retail sales on CSA pick-up days during the growing season (May – November) on Tuesdays and Fridays between 3:30 and 7 pm. We encourage customers to visit and see what’s for sale or they can request the current produce list a day before their visit by sending an email request to vollmeckecsa@hotmail.com.
Another retail purchase alternative is our Special Order Program (SOP) through which participants can purchase our harvested items and farm products as well as several locally produced special order items that we do not stock on a regular basis. Freshness is key here!
Through this program, customers and members can sign up to receive our current check-off list of items for sale for their consideration. Via e-mail broadcast they can receive regular announcements, select and advance-order their items and pick up their pre-packed orders on a Saturday (according to the date given in each email). SOP notices are typically sent on a bi-weekly basis. During times of particular abundance, however, they are sent each week.
To be placed on the SOP order list, send an email request to farmspecialorder@verizon.net. A confirmation reply will be sent to you with details. Customers can expect to receive their first order list within 2-3 weeks.
We offer gift certificates for $100 and up (in $50 increments) for customers who wish to choose when they come and make a purchase, or wish to give a nutritious holiday or birthday gift that keeps giving for the rest of the year.
Some of our products (fruit butters & applesauce) are carried on the shelves of Kimberton Whole Foods Markets.
This year, we will offer our products at the Great Valley Farmers' Market on Thursdays from 11:00 AM - 2 PM (approx. May – November).
In the winter, we market our apples, cider, fruit butters and apple sauces at the Brandywine River Museum on weekends from Thanksgiving through to the end of the year.
We do not currently offer product ordering through our website, but we are happy to ship our fruit butters, apple sauces and pasta sauce for their retail price plus actual postage fee and $2.50 packing & handling if you ask. Send your email request, and we will quote shipping to customer zip code.
