About the Farm

Background

The family farm has established itself as a reliable source of fresh, high-quality mushrooms and aquaponic lettuce, supplying some of the best restaurants in Lancaster County, PA. Known for their unique and locally grown produce, they have built a reputation among chefs and food lovers alike.

Practices

The farm employs specialized techniques to cultivate a diverse range of mushrooms, including golden, silver pearl, pink and white elm oyster mushrooms, lion's mane, and chestnut mushrooms. Additionally, they utilize aquaponic systems to grow chef quality lettuce and microgreens, ensuring a sustainable and efficient use of resources.

Their produce is available for purchase at Lemon Street Market, Green Circle Organics, and Lancaster's Central Market, and can be enjoyed at several local restaurants such as Maison, Luca, Zoetropolis, Decades, Hunger & Thirst, The Fridge, The Clubhouse at Willow Valley, Troegs Brewery in Hershey, and Quips in Lancaster.
