Good Agricultural Practices, or GAP, Certification was developed by the Food And Drug Administration to minimize microbial food safety hazards for fruits and vegetables. It entails an annual audit during harvest time and extensive record-keeping throughout the year. In our case, we are required to maintain GAP Certification in order to legally sell produce to certain grocery stores like Wegmans. What products do you have available right now? The majority of our growing season is between the months of June and October, but we generally keep potatoes in cold storage year-round. We always have fresh eggs available. Feel free to read more about What We Grow. |
Where can I purchase products from you?
We are a member of the Boalsburg Farmers Market and the North Atherton Farmers Market in State College. We also sell produce to grocery stores including Wegmans, Burkholder's Country Market in Spring Mills and many local restaurants. And now you can shop our online store!
Are you an organic farm?
We are not a certified organic farm. Technically we are classified as conventional because we make use of both natural and synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides when absolutely necessary. We also have an irrigation system and till our land. Our operation is a tight-knit band of family whose main objective is to maintain the health and vitality of our land and our business.
