Testimonials:
“I spent two great seasons working for John at Tinicum CSA along the banks of the beautiful Delaware River. Each day we worked hard and faced new problems John and the crew solved as a team. We earned many new lessons and experiences, funny moments, and the joy of growing and eating amazing food. John always made me feel valued and that he cared that my time at Tinicum CSA was not just about getting the day’s tasks done, but also about making sure I was building knowledge and skills about small-scale vegetable farming, that I could take with me to become my own independent farmer. I am grateful to have been able to spend time in such a beautiful place working hard, learning, laughing, and growing some incredible produce at Tinicum CSA. It was a truly rewarding and meaningful experience.” – Joe, 2021 – 2022
