Summary
$11,000-plus has been raised for Pennsylvania's Hayday Farms after a violent carjacking left the small operation with thousands of dollars in losses.
Earlier this month, a man in scrubs allegedly struck an employee at a stoplight as the worker drove a van loaded with fresh produce to a Philadelphia farmers market.
Bensalem police recovered the van two days later, but much of the cargo had rotted and the farm said equipment, a cash box, honey and scales were missing.
Owner Hank Whittenberg said the five-acre farm could wait several weeks to get the damaged van back in service, making the community fundraiser a critical lifeline.
