This farm is meant to be walked
Picking up your order here was never meant to feel like a transaction. Come early, look at the animals, ask questions. Bring the kids.
What to expect
You are coming to a working farm, not a visitor center. There will be equipment moving, animals doing what animals do, and someone in the middle of a job. That is rather the point.
Wear boots or shoes you do not mind. Keep an eye on little ones around the equipment and the fencing. Bring a cooler in warm weather so your milk stays cold on the way home.
Whoever is around will say hello. If you want to see the parlor or the pasture, ask. We would rather show you than have you wonder.
Where we are
Christiana, PA 17509
Pickup is Mondays, noon to nine in the evening. We may add Saturdays, nine to three, and that would likely be when we run tours.
"Farmer Michael showed us around the farm last summer and it was a picture of lush green grass and vibrant countryside. The beautiful countryside and happy cows certainly supported the claim. Thanks for the tour Michael!"
What we are building
There is more coming here, and we would rather you watched it happen than heard about it after.
An on-farm store
A proper place to come and pick things up, instead of meeting at the cooler. For now it is a marked spot with a cooler, ready when you arrive.
Farm tours
Walk the pasture, see the parlor, watch a milking. Family friendly and open to anyone. Call or text Michael on (223) 221-0040 to arrange one.
Learning days
How this kind of farming actually works: the soil, the grazing, the milking. For families, schools, and anyone curious. A few times a year, with demonstrations and some hands-on work. Join the farm letter and we will tell you when the next one is set.
The plan is for this to be somewhere families come to see where their food comes from, not just where it gets handed over. If you want to be part of that as it takes shape, join the farm letter and we will tell you first.
One pickup, a whole network of farms
Not everything in your box comes from our pastures alone, and that is deliberate.
We work with producers we know by name, doing things the way we would do them. The sheep dairy, the bakery, the neighbors raising what we do not. When you collect an order here you are supporting a whole web of small farms, not just this one.
The ones we work with: Shepherds Hollow Farm for raw sheep dairy, Lykens Valley Creamery for cheese, Silver Hills for fermented foods, Misty Creek Goat Dairy for goat soap, Welsh Mountain Apiaries for honey, and Virkler Farm and Forest for maple syrup. The cow dairy, the meat chickens, the eggs and the sourdough are ours.
The door is open
Place an order, come collect it, and stay a few minutes longer than you need to.
