Thank You from Chester Food Pantry

Here on the farm we hate to see anything to waste. Last year, Stony Hill Farms teamed up with Chester Food Pantry to donate any shares that were left at the end of each CSA pick-up day to families in need.

You as members have been incredibly generous with you gifts of fresh produce to families that would otherwise go without.

Here is a message from the Chester Food Pantry to our CSA Members:

Dear Stony Hill CSA Member,

 

I would like to, once again, thank the members of the Stony Hill CSA for their generous support of the Chester Food Pantry this season.  I hope that the knowledge that your CSA’s did not go to waste but, instead, were used to help those in need is something that is meaningful to you.  You have no idea how precious that fresh produce is to the people that the Chester Food Pantry assists.  This year we were able to distribute close to 200 boxes to very appreciative families in Chester and Mendham.  Many times the doors would fly open as we approached the homes and young children would tear open the boxes.   Several people shared that they were able to make things for themselves and their families that they never would have been able to if not for the CSA. 

 

We take for granted the fresh produce that we are able to obtain and we don’t always realize how important it is to those that cannot afford it especially the seniors and children.  Thank you for helping us to make our neighbors’ lives a little easier.
