Thornbury Farm is located at 1256 Thornbury Road, West Chester, PA, near the intersection of Rt. 926 and South New Street in Thornbury Township. Founded in 1709, the farm is continuing its rich heritage by producing many varieties of non-certified organic and local vegetables.

Under the leadership of Randell H. Spackman, Thornbury Farm is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) organization. By making a financial commitment to the farm, members create a relationship with the farm and receive a weekly basket of produce from late May into the fall. Please call 610-793-2933 or contact us for details and to become a supporting member. We only have a limited number of openings each year due to the demand.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ORGAN DONATION
Thornbury farm & Randell Spackman are restoring a 1926 Mudler Hunter Pipe Organ in our main barn. This year, we will have small concerts with this great cathedral organ with its 2,200 plus pipes! The organ was going to be dismantled and discarded but 17 truckloads moved it to Thornbury Farm.

It needs to be restored and a new console is coming from Georgia in mid-summer 2013. So if you are musically minded, love history, love mechanical machines and are good with your hands, this may be a great opportunity to contribute to a great legacy of the Thornbury Pipe Organ.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Thornbury Farm is accepting applicants now for its internship program which runs from May into the Fall. Interns will learn farming systems of greenhouse growing, planting, fertilizing, insect controls, harvesting, packing and retail. Individuals will also participate in crop rotation and planning for the future. Those interested will help us develop classes and special research projects. Interns will receive a stipend and farm fresh food with a summery letter of what they had accomplished over the season. For additional details, contact Randell Spackman.
