Archival record of the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Family Farm Membership and u-pick harvest program offered at our Glen Rock, Pennsylvania farm (now closed).
Family Farm Membership CSA
The Family Farm Membership CSA was offered at our Glen Rock, Pennsylvania farm (launching in 2022). This program is permanently closed and preserved here as an archival record of our community-supported agriculture and u-pick harvest model.
Community Supported Agriculture & U-Pick Model
Our Family Farm Membership CSA took our most-loved farm activities and bundled them with seasonal u-pick harvests. Our goal was to make member families part of our farm life—connecting closely with daily chores, following the lives of our heritage animals, and harvesting fresh heirloom produce directly from the fields.
🌿 Regenerative Agriculture
Applying biointensive and permaculture principles to build topsoil, conserve water, prevent erosion, and eliminate synthetic chemicals and fossil-fuel reliance.
🤝 Community & Relationship Building
Fostering personal connections with families who value knowing where their food and eggs come from, creating lasting memories in a supportive farm community.
🐐 Animal Connection for All Families
Providing families who live in urban or suburban settings hands-on access to heritage fainting goats, rare Arabian horses, donkeys, and pastured poultry.
🛡️ Debt-Free Stewardship
Operating without loans or debt to provide financial stability and peace of mind for our livestock, agricultural programs, and farm families.
🗝️ Exclusive Access
Unlimited access to 2 designated picnic areas, nature trails around animal paddocks, and raised garden beds.
🥗 Heirloom First Choice
Priority access to unusual, flavorful heirloom varieties of greens, squash, root crops, and culinary herbs not sold in grocery stores.
⏰ Flexible Weekend Hours
Open Friday afternoons (2 PM – sunset) and all day Saturday & Sunday (9 AM – sunset) for self-paced visits.
🧺 Convenient U-Pick
We handled the planting, soil prep, and weeding—members received guidance on how and when to harvest their fresh share.
🎟️ Free Tour Admission
