Our Roots

Down to Earth Harvest began modestly—just a van and a garden. Over the years, it has blossomed into an organization supported by a dedicated team of farmers and allied with a network of trusted local farms. Since its inception, its focus has been on growing vegetables with care and a deep respect for the environment.

Farming Practices

At Down to Earth Harvest, sustainable farming is more than just a practice; it's a promise. They employ methods like no-till farming and use organic production techniques to ensure an environmentally conscious approach. These practices support community health and enhance food transparency.

Offerings

Through a flexible Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription, members access over 150 varieties of fresh, local produce. The CSA model at Down to Earth Harvest offers a modern twist—members explore their weekly produce options online, choosing from a broad selection sourced from local farms.

Community Initiatives

Beyond its farming ambitions, Down to Earth Harvest is dedicated to community involvement. They've partnered with the West Chester Food Cupboard to donate nutritious produce weekly, making a significant impact on local food accessibility. Additionally, through collaborations with organizations like the Chester County Economic Development Council, they've delivered fresh vegetables to daycare workers, promoting the importance of healthy eating.

Educational Engagement

Education forms a cornerstone of Down to Earth Harvest's operations. They provide STEM activities focused on gardening and plant growth, allowing participants to engage in experiments like the Magic Bean Sprout Experiment and the Soil Food Web.
