Donaldson's is a traditional farm market with a large section of fresh
fruits and vegetables. While the farm is not certified organic many
organic farming practices are used. No-till planting and biodegradable
ground cover help to safeguard the environment. With this in mind we
happily bought a variety of produce including some of the
dirty dozen
which we usually avoid unless they are organic. Everything that we
bought was very good except for the peaches which weren't picked ripe
and weren't as good as Columbia River, Georgia, or
Chambersburg
peaches even after they ripened. The corn, which we ate along with the
zucchini, and shrimp from our freezer, was excellent - so good that we
bought more corn and zucchini to eat the next night along with barbecued
chicken. Yum! ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiU3Fc4-lKDyry5xNpewuq799T6rjRGEc9WODVdCzeya2rWXOxPj0DZRHKfjR5Iw3YrdM0uUwkZXiaDKxCShUw4IbmmVgczI2wzXXIsW5XrY6dcdmrJhmEOpKm7hoZ-JUQptIQEMfWuMPJu2A-4mZK1DbLnrqnI-P2uI8hD0FKQEvUfMF7VI19u3Mmb4A)
The market is accessible but the parking lot is surfaced with loose gravel which is difficult to push through. The accessible space has a paved section that goes into the store.
This is a Harvest Hosts site. The parking area is a very large grassy field. Guests are requested to not park close to the houses at the south side of the lot. We parked near the entrance where the employees parked. Another guest parked at the far west end beside the corn field. Market 40.83048, -74.8433
Oh, terrific, I just knew this was a HH site. I should've read this post after dinner -- I'm hungry and starting to salivate from reading it and seeing the pics. Great stop, huh?
ReplyDeleteYep, great stop! Don't miss it if you go through New Jersey.
