 Janice has been a volunteer and member of Pennypack Farm since 2005, a member of the Board of Directors since 2007 and Vice President since 2010. She joined the farm when her oldest child was one and credits her family's experience interacting with farmers and the local food system for giving her children adventurous palates. Her favorite vegetables grown at the farm are tomatoes and garlic scapes. Her kids love the carrots (dirt optional), chard, and making layered herb sandwiches. 

 

 Heather is a fundraiser and event planner for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Previously, she held various roles at a nature center and farm, including teaching school children about food and agricultural history. Her interest in growing good food comes from her dad, who always has a large garden, and her mom, who taught her how to can tomatoes. Heather also enjoys traveling and hiking.

 Mary was born in California, the descendant of Minnesota homesteaders. So farming is in her blood. She attended Wellesley College in Boston, then received an MBA from Stanford Business School. She worked for years in health care consulting then went back to school at age 38 to become a doctor at Temple Medical School. She practices Internal Medicine at Willow Grove Internal Medicine as part of the Abington Physician Network. She served as the Treasurer for Pennypack Farm and Education Center for 2 years from 2008-2010, and now serves as the Secretary of the Board. At times she rides her bike to work along the Powerline Trail, then stops by at the farm to pick up her share on the way home and wonders, "Is this bucolic ride really in suburbia?" She's grateful for and proud of the way of life that Pennypack farm provides it's members.

 Ron is a Project/Program Manager at Hewlett-Packard, currently assigned to oversee a State of New Jersey health and human services system implementation. He has been in the Information Technology field for over 30 years, previously working for EDS and GMAC Mortgage.  Ron and his wife (Ann) have been members of Pennypack Farm from the beginning. They have 3 children. Ron is an avid cook and frustrated organic gardener (shade trees). Ron grew up having access to organic produce as his parents and grandparents always had big gardens.  He recalls a commentary on suburbia from his grandfather (Carmen Subranni, organic gardener and musician) that sums it up:  "All this grass in the suburbs.  Does everyone own sheep? NO!  Why grow grass, you can't eat it".
