Hello to all of our CSA Members, and anyone else who might stop in!

For those just visiting our blog for the first time, we would like to introduce ourselves.
We are the Keckler Family. We are a small farm located in Gardners, Pennsylvania. Growing and distributing fresh produce is our goal in what we do.
This Family photo was taken at our daughter, Katie's wedding last year. From the Left : Sarah, Tamara, Stuart, Mark, (Lydia's fiance), Gregg, Louise, Lydia , Ryan,(Katie's husband), Katie, John and Meriam,(Louise's parents), Oliver, Martha, Daniel,(Martha's boyfriend), and Virginia.
We have created this blog so that our CSA's have a way of "keeping in touch" with us, and also a way to see whats going on around the farm.
These past few weeks, our Apple and Peach trees have been blooming. I (Virginia) was able to get some pictures of the Apple Blossoms.





This was the first picking of Rhubarb from our smaller patch. We were very happy with the amount we got. Each picking will get progressively larger through the season.


This is the first picking of our Asparagus. Although it may not look like much, there's about 22 pounds of Asparagus in the buckets. We're keeping them in our walk-in cooler to keep them fresh. We've also grilled some up for eating!! :) (It is VERY good!)
As with the Rhubarb, each picking is getting larger and larger.


That's all we have for right now. Keep posted for more updates on whats happening at the farm!!!
