(00:36) We get to know a 40-year farming legacy that's become one of the region's most beloved agricultural destinations, Triple B Farms. Ron Beinlich, a former metallurgical engineer who always dreamed of being a farmer, took a leap of faith in 1985 when he left US Steel to focus full-time on the abandoned 205-acre property he'd purchased years earlier. Together with his wife Carolyn, they transformed overgrown land with a dilapidated house into Triple B Farms - a thriving family business now in its third generation.(06:10) The farm's name originated from "Beinlich's Beef and Berries," reflecting their early focus on cattle and strawberries. Today, Triple B Farms grows approximately twenty different crops while delighting visitors with what they call "agritainment" - a blend of agriculture and family entertainment. From picking your own berries and visiting baby goats to jumping on "jumping pillows" and watching a singing chicken show, the farm creates experiences that keep families returning season after season.The farm sits at the southern tip of Allegheny County, offering Pittsburgh families an authentic rural experience, not too far from home. As Carolyn, a former teacher, leads educational tours for thousands of schoolchildren each year, she ensures younger generations understand where their food comes from.(16:06) The market offers homemade pies baked on-site, alongside locally-sourced jarred goods and seasonal produce. Whether you're craving fresh strawberries in June, blueberries in July, or the perfect pumpkin in October, Triple B Farms delivers an authentic farm-to-table experience that's been nourishing Pittsburgh families for decades. (26:02) And later in the show, Ashley Cesaratto takes us to lunch for the perfect sandwich at Family Deli, while Alex and Chantal Huff dish up a favorite home cooked recipe with fresh summer corn and pesto.
