Kranz Hill Farm

It is a scenic drive from Newark through woods, farms, and horse pastures. The produce is set out on tables in a barn which gives it nice ambiance. I was shown the best tomatoes and special blue potatoes. Everything was high quality, a good selection, and the man was very friendly and informative

The vegetables I have received from my CSA membership has changed my life . The variety and deliciousness gave me the impetus i needed to go full plant based . You will have to learn how to cook again! . You will have time because you don’t have to unsuccessfully try and turn your back yard into a mini farm . Grow flowers instead. New varieties that I received this year include maitake mushrooms, hakuri salad turnips, Watermelon radishes, spicy salad greens, white sweet potatoes, and Crazy looking squashes.

Amazing little market! Everything we've eaten so far has been super fresh and delicious. And it's such a refreshing experience to visit. Can't wait to come back soon!

Kranz Hill Farm's CSA offers a customizable weekly share of fresh delicious produce. The food gradually changes with the seasons and is always excellent. Between picking up our share, visiting the farm animals, and the weekly email updates we feel a strong connection with the farm. There's a small market open to anyone and extra food seasonally available for picking including raspberries, apples, green beans, and sauce tomatoes. They also offer the ability to become more involved if shareholders want by picking your own produce or volunteering in other ways, and we're really looking forward to the fall festival.

Kranz Hill Farm is a family-run CSA that currently offers shares of locally grown vegetables. I have been a part of this CSA for over three years now and they are absolutely wonderful. They offer small and regular sized shares; the small share provides more than enough vegetables for my family of two adults and two small children. I love that they offer a choice of a Tuesday or Friday pickup time for the season, which helps with keeping pickup from being too crowded. Kranz Hill Farm offers a great variety of vegetables throughout the season, and also takes shareholder requests into consideration each year. Pickup is housed in the barn on the farm, and I am always greeted warmly upon arrival. The couple that runs the CSA are kind and caring, they get to know each shareholder more each time they come to pick up their share, and are available to answer any questions you may have about the selection of vegetables that week. They have given me advice on how to cook each vegetable as well as how to store any vegetables I may not have time to cook/use that week so nothing goes to waste. The other nice thing that I like is that you get to pick out your own vegetables. So instead of other CSAs where you just go pick up a box of pre-sorted goods, Kranz Hill has a few tables set up with the produce spread out. So YOU get to choose the exact tomatoes you want or how much of each type of lettuce you want. Chalkboards located on each table tell you how much of each vegetable each share receives. For example, a small share can pick out 2 pounds of summer squash usually from a variety of squash, so you can pick more yellow squash versus zucchini versus pattypan squash if that is what you want while a regular share may get 3 or 4 pounds. They are very family friendly, you usually see their kids plus those that accompany their parents for pickup running around in the grass, playing on the swing set behind the barn, or just checking out the animals that reside at the farm. I attribute part of my kids' love for vegetables to this CSA. My daughter tried her first cherry tomato here and now any time we go she is always asking when they will be ready for picking, and gobbles them up when they are available. There is also wild raspberries growing around the farm, and the owners are gracious enough to let shareholders come and pick them to their hearts content! Both my children get excited when it is time to go get our share each week, wondering if they will get to eat some tomatoes, raspberries, carrots, cucumbers, or even apples from the trees that grow on the farm. The CSA also occasionally offers produce from other local farms for sale. Items ranging from honey, mushrooms, vegetables, and sometimes even meat are offered during pickup times. The CSA does a good job of trying to predict the amounts of each vegetable you will receive at pickup time, and I always look forward to those emails or Facebook posts to see what yummy food we will be getting! Right now only vegetables are available with this CSA, which works well for me since I have a few local orchards nearby that I can get fresh fruit. I highly recommend this CSA and will continue to secure a share with them every year!

Check out Kranz Hill Farm. Everything is grown there, washed and prepped there, and the farmer and his family live right there on the farm! One of the things I love about the Farm are the messages we get telling us about upcoming plans, surveys on which vegetables we want more/less of, information about plants and sustainable farming, in brief, blog-like posts, accompanied by pictures. Now I know what those white hairs on tomato plants are!

We enjoyed our share at Kranz Hill Farm last year and look forward to the great selection of vegetables especially the tomatoes this year. It is convenient and fun to pick it up on the farm, since it is so close to Newark, Landenberg, West Grove, Fair Hill.

We've been a member of the Kranz Hill CSA for a year and love the vegetables plus the raspberries and apples that can be picked in season!

Looking forward to another vegetable filled summer. It's great fun to make weekly visits to a real farm...just up the hill from Newark!

Great place! Good tomatoes and salad! Seasonal vegetables at very reasonable prices.
