Backyard Fresh

Backyard Fresh We grow vegetables, mushrooms and fruits with the intent to promote health and well-being. We have decided to share our bounty with others.

Jim and I are recently retired and love to grow and raise our own food. We will be selling our produce, mushrooms, eggs (July2023), handcrafted soaps and flowers at Antietam Valley Farm Market on the first and third Monday of each month from May to December (5:00 - 7:00 PM)

Unseasonably warm spring pushed fruit trees into early bloom, the hard freeze overnight on April 20–21, 2026, delivered a heartbreaking blow to orchards across Pennsylvania. Our farm, Backyard Fresh is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern Berks County. Our small orchard typically yields four to eight bushels of pears per year, this year, we will be lucky if we produce a dozen individual pears. Our Small orchard usually produces 3 to 6 bushels of peaches. This year, we will have no peaches. no plums and no apples.

Within this pot, you can pressure can 20 pints at a time. Yesterday, we canned 17 pints of Creole sauce.
