Birchrun Hills Farm is situated in the heart of Chester County where Sue Miller and her family raise their herd of happy cows and make award-winning farmstead cheeses including the iconic Birchrun Blue, Fat Cat and Equinox, as well as incredible fromage blanc, crème frâiche, halloumi and more that will elevate your recipes.

Everyone knows Sue for her award-winning cheese, but it has been incredible to learn more about their family farm operation, where they raise food for their cows and birth calves on the farm. As farmers, we love to see such a deep process. As consumers, we’ve heard lots of bad things about traditional veal. As conscientious eaters, most of us haven’t had veal in years. This is something different, and we really do not know anywhere else to find veal raised conscientiously. A rare treat from a rare farm!

Sweet Amalia Oyster Farm is located on the Cape May Peninsula in the pristine waters of the southern Delaware Estuary. Their oysters are carefully hand-raised using sustainable European rack and bag culture methods. Beautifully shaped oysters with meats that are plump and buttery, crisp and sweet, with just the right kiss of brine.

A major goal of our add-on program is to showcase the diversity of local agriculture, and we really cannot imagine anything that exemplifies that more than Lisa literally farming the ocean. That the oysters she grows literally filter the water they live in shows how much we can do with small producers that share values of environmental responsibility.

Kyle has been active with NOFA among other community organizations that seek to promote agriculture and community health. He is the nicest guy ever, and also does all this while raising like 23 kids and holding down a full-time job as an AIr Force mechanic - which is motivating any time we don’t want to get out of bed, or be nice.

Kyle is a student of Barbecue, traveling and studying from pit masters and hog farmers. You can hire Kyle to cook a whole hog from his herd.
