FARMER'S MARKETS AND ORGANIC FOODS
Danville is located in the rolling farmlands of northern Pennsylvania. For many of our families, farming has been a way of life for over a century. The landscape is dotted with orchards, apiaries, berry fields and small family farms, all providing locally sourced food to our community. Our local growers and farmers are very knowledgeable about the environmental and health impacts of large-scale commercial farming. Many farms in the region are completely organic. Locally grown fruits and vegetables, meats and prepared foods can be purchased at the many farm stores and farmer's markets in the area. These offer a great source of fresh produce, exposure to some unique rural Pennsylvania delicacies and an opportunity to speak directly to the hard-working men and women that put food on our tables.
