The Victorian village of Hawley, Pennsylvania may be tiny, but it sure is mighty when it comes to supporting local farmers and protecting land along the Upper Delaware River.
A centerpiece of Hawleys main street is The Settlers Inn, a chef-owned farm-to-table restaurant and lodge with a long tradition of working directly with local farmers. Proprietor and Chef Grant Genzlinger carries his passion out of the kitchen and into the board room as a longtime Director of the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, located a few blocks from The Inn on River Street.
The Hawley Farmers Market is a great place to find fresh and healthy local fruits and veggies on Friday afternoons, from 2 PM to 5:30 PM, June through October 8. Market favorites include Mullers Vegetable Farm and Journeys End Farm, which is protected by a conservation easement held by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy.
While youre in the neighborhood, stop by Van Gorders Furniture on Route 6 to check out the latest creations by local wood artisans. Owner Scott Van Gorder is also a Board Member of the Delaware Highlands Conservancy!
