Birchwood Springs, Newtown, PA

## Overview Birchwood Springs is a natural spring located on the grounds of Birchwood Farms in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The farm is a family-operated property known for its livestock produce, fresh farm products made from family recipes, and its spring and well water. The spring water has been reported to be rich in minerals and is available for purchase at approximately $1 per gallon. It's worth noting that some visitors have reported the water has an untreated, mineral-forward taste that not everyone enjoys — a common characteristic of unprocessed spring water. As with any natural water source, the water has not been treated with standard purification methods, so visitors should be aware of this before purchasing. **Please note:** As of the most recent reports, Birchwood Farms and the spring have been closed for renovation and relocation purposes. It is strongly recommended that you call ahead or check for updates before making the trip. When open, the spring and farm are accessible to the public **Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM**.
