Lots of workers have been a part of Sonnewald Farms during the 66 years it has been providing York County residents with fresh, organic products from its 60-acre property.

Her daughter, Willa Lefever, of Sonnewald Farms, said finding contact information for everyone who has ever been involved at the farm has been a challenge.
The reunion will be held rain or shine on the farm property at 1516 Lefever Lane in Spring Grove from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Attendees are also welcome to camp on the farm property Friday night. Those unable to attend are welcome to make submissions for a scrapbook of Sonnewald farm memories.
Grace Lefever, 89, and her stepdaughter Willa Lefever talk about a planned reunion outside Grace's home at Sonnewald Farm. Willa and her husband Bill run the farm and natural food store there. The farm is planning a reunion Aug. 18 for anyone who has lived or worked at the farm and store. The reunion is in honor of Graces 90th birthday in December. Willa's father, Harold Tim Lefever, started the farm in 1946. (Bill Kalina photo)
