Back on the Farm

PicturePennypack Farm and Education Center
Located in nearby Horsham, Pa, the Pennypack Farm and Education Center has been a great source of joy for me this summer. Not only am I probably better nourished from all of the yummy vegetable I've been eating from there, but I've also been able to bring my kids there to see where food comes from.

The farm also generously hosted my outdoor painting class from the Abington Art Center one recent morning when I painted this view as a demonstration. As a result, this painting is bit more planned out than how I usually work since I was explaining several techniques while I worked on it. Judging from the impressive work my students did that day, I think I achieved my objective. And there is a bonus...I like the painting.

When Nate was four he took a kids class there, Raina was his teacher and now I see her at the Chester County Food Bank. They had a nice old school fall festival. A hidden gem.

I totally agree that this is a hidden jem! I realized recently that you may have told me about this farm years ago, Lynn, when Kristen S. mentioned that you and her had shares there.
So this was even hidden right in front of me because I didn't have the time back then to go pick up a share! I guess I needed to slow down to see it.
