Meet the creator, a Chadds Ford resident

Jen Panaro
Hello! I’m Jen Panaro, Chadds Ford neighbor and creator of this little corner of the internet. I’m a writer, reader, mom, community volunteer, eco-nerd, and more.

There’s no bad time to shop local, see what’s going on at a municipal meeting, get to know your neighbor better, or bake them an apple pie, just because.
