Flint Hill Farm Announces Summer Farm Evening

Flint Hill Farm in Upper Saucon Township has announced its participation in the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance's second 2013 Summer Farm Evening, which will take place at the Flint Hill Farm Education Center on July 13 at 4 p.m.

The education center is a 28-acre multifaceted agro-educational facility featuring goat and cow dairies, chickens, horseback riding, a variety of camp experiences and the farm’s onsite store.

The evening’s pot luck meal will run from 4 to 5 p.m., with the tour to follow. Visitors are asked to bring a dish to share with others and their family’s own eating equipment, beverages and seating, and they are expected to carry out their own trash.

Although the farm tours are free, BCFA encourages donations to its programs. 

Because Flint Hill is an educational facility, this farm tour is particularly suited to young children and families.

Program cancellations due to severe weather will be posted on the BCFA website.

Wednesday, Sept. 4 - Roots to River Farm, Solebury Township, PA
