- The New York Times

A big shout out to Bucks County's own Steve Tomlinson, owner of Carversville Farm, whose generosity was covered by the New York Times recently. The 388-acre certified-organic farm provides nonprofit food providers - including Bucks County Opportunity Council - with top-quality vegetables, poultry, beef and eggs; they donate over ninety percent of their harvests to Philadelphia-area soup kitchens and food pantries.
