🌱For over 40 years, the Beinlich family has welcomed families and guests to Triple B Farms in Monongahela— just 15 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.

The Beinlichs enjoy sharing their harvests with members of their community, including through food bank partners in the charitable food system. The farm has been working with local food banks for 15 years.

“Being able to rely on [Triple B Farms] season after season is invaluable in helping us get more fresh produce to more of our neighbors," remarks Jane Olszewski, Manager of Procurement and Planning at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. "By delivering directly to the Food Bank from the farm, the team at Triple B ensures that the tomatoes and corn we distribute are as fresh as possible.”

🍎APPLES IN ACTION🍎

This October, we are thrilled to feature the dedicated Pennsylvania apple growers who partner with our network to supply fresh, locally grown apples to our neighbors facing hunger.

To kick off the series, we’re shining a light on Solebury Orchards, a staple in central Bucks County for over 40 years. The 80-acre orchard has been teaming up with the Bucks County Opportunity Council to ensure families across the region have access to local apples and fresh-pressed c***r.

"Fresh produce is an important part of good nutrition, and it is gratifying to be a part of a production that serves the local community," says owner Brian Smith.

Feeding PA was thrilled to join our newest member, Chester County Food Bank, and Philabundance for a Community Food Forum focused on building a more food-secure Chester County. The event highlighted both the challenges facing our neighbors and the ways food banks and pantries, community partners, business leaders, farmers, elected officials, and neighbors can come together to build sustainable solutions to hunger.

Special thanks to the panelists for a thoughtful and honest conversation about the challenges families and food banks are facing today, and the opportunities we have to address them together.

Ending hunger takes all of us. Conversations like these strengthen the connections between our food banks and the communities they serve, creating opportunities to share ideas, build partnerships, and work together toward solutions that help our neighbors thrive. We’re proud to have Chester County Food Bank as part of the Feeding Pennsylvania network and look forward to continuing this work together.
