Episode 161: Little Peace Farm

Published: Aug. 20, 2013, 8:15 p.m.

b'Little Peace Farm is a 20 acre, intensive family farm offering chemical-free produce, cut flowers, fruit and herbs, and pastured chicken and eggs through our CSA memberships, at our market locations and to several local restaurants. We employ organic and sustainable growing, pest management, and fertilization methods and offer our food year round (see our website www.littlepeacefarm.com). Our main season CSA and Farmers Market is 20 weeks long (first week in June until late October) and our Fall CSA runs from October through December. We grow in our high tunnels to offer customers fresh winter vegetables during the winter and spring months as well. Our goal is to raise honest food for our family of 11 and share this food with as many people as we can while striving for a sustainable (financially and environmentally) lifestyle. Our farm is located outside of Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Thanks to our sponsor, White Oak Pastures. If farming is Kindergarten through PhD, I was held back in Kindergarten for 5 years and just graduated 1st grade. [9:00] -- Michael Scheidel on Greenhorn Radio'
