Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) brings together farmers and community members into a mutually benefical relationship that ensures fair compensation for the farmer while providing the community with delicious fresh-picked vegetables for six months of the year.

Anchor Run CSA is located on Anchor Run Farm, a preserve owned by Wrightstown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA. Farmers Jon Thorne and Tali Adini grow produce organically, without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms. Members receive a portion of our farm bounty each week, picked and washed just hours before pick-up.

You are encouraged to learn more about us by exploring this website.
