ABOUT US
On our site, we are working to cultivate the next generation of farmers through our training and incubator programs. We provide beginning farmers with affordable access to land, infrastructure, equipment, technical assistance, and more, so that they can start their farm businesses. We also offer experiential training throughout the year in skill and knowledge areas that are critical to new farmer success, such as equipment operation, food safety, planning, and marketing. We are growing new farmers so that they can protect our farmland and grow the local food economy.
In 2019, The Seed Farm became part of local nonprofit Community Action Lehigh Valley and a program of Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania.
