Driving Directions 

Some people prefer the farm's own directions. Here they are:

 

From Pittsburgh, take 376 East/I-60 North to Exit 10 at Flaugherty Run Road, the first exit past Pittsburgh International Airport. Turn left onto Spring Run Road Extension at our farm sign, just past Charlie Brown's airport parking, then drive about one more mile and turn left at our farm sign onto New Bethlehem Church Road. Go straight uphill past the church on the left. The farm is a half-mile farther on the right.

From Beaver, take 376 East/I-60 South to Exit 9 at Hopewell. Turn onto Rt. 151 West, drive 1.3 miles, turn left at our farm sign onto Church Hill Road. At the top of the hill, turn hard right at the church onto New Bethlehem Church Road. Our farm is down the road a bit on the right.

From Sewickley and Hopewell, follow Rt. 151 West past Berger's Furniture and Pat's Pooch Parlor, turn left at our farm sign onto Church Hill Road. At the top of the hill, turn hard right at the church onto New Bethlehem Church Road. Our farm is down the road a bit on the right.
