We are a 35 acre Certified Naturally Grown Farm in Northeastern, PA just outside of Honesdale. We produce nutritious vegetables, apples, blueberries, and culinary herbs. We are Certified Naturally Grown, which is a farmer to farmer inspection process and is actually more rigorous than Organic Standards and cheaper for the farmer. We are interested in Farm to School programs but have not yet been able to get into the school system.
