About the Farm
Background
The Wellness Farm, located in Southern York County, Shrewsbury Township, spans 66 acres and has become known for its Sweet Potato Festival held annually on the last Saturday of September. Co-directed by Bev and Jack, who collectively have over 65 years of educational experience, the farm serves as a teaching and learning center focused on wellness and lifestyle changes.
Practices
Wellness farming at this farm employs sustainable-stewardship and best-practice farming principles, blending natural and scientific methods to produce fresh products directly for consumers. The farm emphasizes the interconnectedness of food production with the soil, pollinators, weather, and farmers, fostering a deep appreciation for the land and its bounty.
The Rest
The farm features a non-profit Wellness Educational Center that offers periodic lectures and classes, a private/community swimming pool, and hiking trails. Berry picking activities allow visitors to connect with nature and understand the origins of their food. The farm's mission is rooted in spiritual wellness, lifelong learning, and the promotion of a fit and active lifestyle with optimal nutrition.
