...minutes from town but a world away...

Currently, We are picking Sweet Corn, Winter Squash,  Green Beans, Tomatoes, Peppers, Okra, Eggplant, Zucchini, etc.  What a great season!  Often we sell out early in the day...so good for the early bird!!!  And remember, no shipping for our  vegetables...they come straight from our fields to you!

Our growing season in western Pennsylvania is from May with fresh hand-picked asparagus to October when we harvest a wide selection of pumpkins, winter squash,  gourds, etc.  As the seasons change and the fields produce new harvests, we are busy in the fields hand-picking our  vegetables. We work hard to provide fresh, healthy produce.  As we continue to farm this land, we strive to implement farming techniques that are proven to maintain and improve the quality of our soil.  Fields are rotated out of production, allowing the soil to rest.  Each fall, cover crops are planted to enrich the soil.  These crops are then plowed back into the earth during the spring season.  This process creates green manure for the fields.  Over the past several years, our land has been farmed traditionally with commercial pest control methods.  Within the last ten years, we have followed an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program that allows us to monitor the crops for pests and take necessary measures only if the condition of the crops warranted pest control.   Our goal is to offer a small scale of “organically grown” produce  such as lettuces, cucumbers, zucchini, and herbs.  As we learn this newer method of farming, we aim to offer more produce “organically grown”.  We apply only  food-grade and bio-natural fertilizers.   Our young, locally raised workers spend hours weeding tomatoes, peppers, etc. by hand.  Our goal is to provide quality, safe foods for our valued customers and our family.  Through the use of research and "earth friendly" techniques, we will continue to strive to meet our goal.

We are a family farm, growing for you!  From our fields to your table...it's that simple!
