Macungie Mountain Herb Farm is based in Longswamp Township, Berks County. Owner Joyce Marin founded the business with a mission to connect people to the healing influence of the earth through food and beverages prepared with locally-sourced ingredients.
Among the dozens of vendors at the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market, Macungie Mountain Herb Farm is instantly recognizable for its vintage white metal trailer festooned with lemon wreaths, sunflowers, retro decor and charming handmade signs.
The business owned by Joyce Marin has developed a loyal following selling refreshing fresh-squeezed lemonade and herbal teas flavored with everything from hibiscus to basil, but MMHF also produces and sells farm-fresh honey, elderberry syrup, tempting gluten-free baked goods and prepared foods, including their popular–and vegan–avocado toast.
In addition to vending at the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market, you can find Macungie Mountain Herb Farm at the Wrightstown Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings.
The farm’s full list of offerings can be found on its website, and Marin regularly updates the Macungie Mountain Herb Farm Facebook page with new products and events.
Macungie Mountain Herb Farm also has an Instagram page which is updated regularly.
