Winter Weather Alerts - If winter weather will affect the Farm you will hear from us.

Hope Springs Farm will contact all our Growers if we will have to delay our start time or even close for the day because of bad winter weather. We monitor the Lower Dauphin School District website as a guide to make our decisions. If you want a heads up you can check at LDSD.org, but remember you will get an official text or email from us; if you don't hear from us we are open and on time. You can also monitor the local radio and television stations for the weather updates from LD School District.
