Sugartown Strawberries (Malvern) is excited to announce the First Family Fun Day on the farm!
Sugartown Strawberries is excited to announce the first Family Fun Day on the farm! The fun-filled, educational event will be held on Saturday, May 11th from 2PM-4PM. Activities will include a hayride tour of the farm, an interactive story, and an enlightening talk from the beekeeper! Children will also get to plant and take home their own potted sunflower seed and meet the new mascot!
Sugartown Strawberries, located at 650 Sugartown Road in Malvern, is a 230 acre working farm in Chester County that has been in the family since 1896! The farm has 100 acres of tillable land and is registered as a Natural Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. In addition to asparagus and strawberries in the spring, they specialize in growing sweet corn, vegetables, and sunflowers in the summer. Throughout the year they host over 5,000 school children for educational farm tours. In the fall schools and local families enjoy visiting us for Pick Your Own Pumpkins, hayrides, and mazes!
The beekeeper, Greg Aubel, is a member of the Chester County Beekeepers Association and is in his 3rd year of beekeeping. His interest in honeybees was sparked by a fascinating observation hive in an ice cream shop! After rescuing his first honeybees from an abandoned house, Greg brought them to Sugartown Strawberries, they are grateful to have his bees on the farm as they are critical in pollinating crops and serve the community by providing raw, local honey!
The cost of the event is $5.00/child or $10.00/family. To reserve your spot, please call Lisa at 610.613.0525, or by email via lisa@sugartownstrawberries.com. (Don't forget to mention Chesco Moms)
