Resident Grow Their Own; Sustainable Practices Celebrated at The Community at Rockhill
Sellersville, PA, October 3, 2018 -- A celebration to showcase resident gardens and the sustainable dining practices of The Community at Rockhill will be held on Friday, October 5th from 5:30 p.m.to 7 p.m. where residents and prospective residents will enjoy complimentary appetizers, local wines from Unami Ridge Winery and exquisite harp music!
The raised garden beds, which encompass an acre of the picturesque 44-acre continuing care community in Sellersville, are maintained by The Community at Rockhill residents. Gardening helps to improve residents’ health by helping to keep them active, while providing inspiration and enjoyment!
Cura Hospitality, which was selected as the community’s new dining services partner last year, provides its culinary services to 205 independent living, 53 personal and 90 skilled care residents. Cura, a company that prides itself on preparing fresh and from scratch foods, also contributes their food waste to the gardens, creating a healthier compost.
Executive Chef Curtis Law and his production staff take great pride in “gathering their food for the earth.” Vegetable waste, including large amounts of rinds, skins, seeds and non-edible food waste are composted onsite and returned to the gardens on campus for natural fertilization. Chef Curtis estimates that 50-60 lbs. of produce are sent to Rockhill’s compost bin weekly.

In addition to helping The Community at Rockhill create a more sustainable environment, Chef Curtis plans to grow his own, a trend that has increased in popularity as older adults are keenly aware and educated on the key health benefits of the food they eat. “It’s important for them to know where their food is grown and harvested,” Chef Curtis says.
Chef and his team are planning to plant tomatoes, peppers and herbs for the 2019 growing season!
