About the Farm
Background
Located in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, the farm has established itself as a reliable source of certified organic vegetables and pasture-raised meat chickens. Known for its commitment to organic farming, the farm has been a part of the Tuscarora Organic Growers Cooperative, which distributes its produce mainly in the Washington DC and Baltimore areas. Additionally, the farm's products are available at two local farmer's markets.
Practices
The farm employs certified organic farming methods, cultivating 2-3 acres of vegetables without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Their approach to raising meat chickens involves movable coops on pasture, allowing the birds to forage naturally, which enriches the soil and promotes a healthy ecosystem. This method not only ensures high-quality produce and meat but also fosters a symbiotic relationship between the animals and the land.
The Rest
The farm occasionally offers internship opportunities, providing hands-on experience in organic farming and sustainable agriculture. Their meat chickens are sold directly to individuals and at markets in Washington DC, State College, PA, and Camp Hill, PA.
