Our country is facing a major food crisis. Food quality has steadily been declining since World War II. We're losing farms and farmers at increasing rates and, for all intents and purposes, there is no next generation of farmers. We at the Palmyra Real Food Emporium want to control the quality and availability of our food. The Emporium is our answer to regaining control of our food system.
Join us in promoting a return to fresh food consumption. We're open Fridays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. And we're on 
. Follow us there, too. – Tom Maurer, Maywood Farm, Annville, Pa.

The Emporium is now open Thursdays from 5:00-7:00 p.m.! This was done primarily for Landisdale Farm CSA member pickup, though the entire store will be open for business — and perfect timing as our produce offerings are increasing every week!
If you’re not familiar, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture; a seasonal membership entitles you to an ongoing supply of the most diverse and abundant produce available in the region! While Landisdale’s CSA is closed for this season, the Emporium will continue to carry their items — check out their website for more information: http://www.landisdalefarm.com/
