About the Farm
Background
For nearly 100 years, the family has been growing fresh produce on a farm located between Harrisburg and Hershey. Residents of the surrounding communities have enjoyed the farm's produce through an on-site farm market since the 1950s, and now, with a CSA program, fresh produce is delivered weekly to drop-off points throughout the greater Harrisburg area.
Practices
The farm grows over 30 different types of fruits and over 40 different vegetables, emphasizing sustainable farming practices. The farm diary on Facebook provides a transparent look at the journey of produce from seed to plate.
The Rest
Located just minutes from most customers, the farm offers easy access for visits and U-pick events.
