About Us

Situated among the rolling hills of Northwest Pennsylvania, the Greenleaf Organic Micro Farm demonstrates practices of permaculture and homesteading.  The tiny profile (approximately 1/16 of an acre) was previously just a mowed lawn. 

While there are multiple reasons for farming or gardening, if you add them all up, the benefits to our mental and physical health outweigh the bug-bites, sweat, and tears.

The Goal

100% Organic -  That's right.  No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.  We use organic practices from the soil to harvest.  Raised bed planting insures that any remnants from earlier farming of the property are not absorbed by our produce.

Fresh & Local - By eliminating the transportation issues associated with commercial produce imports, we provide fresh vine ripened vegetable and fruits often picked the same day the food is served at the family table.  Unlike big box grocery stores, our fresh produce is not ripened in shipping containers as it makes it way from far away lands.  We are a "Product of Pennsylvania".

Superfoods - Our choice of crops focus on healthy and yummy food your family will actually enjoy. Our micro farm focuses on nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being.  From Kale to Tomatoes, herbs and greens, bok choy and apples, asparagus, spinach, strawberries, broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, raspberries, and blueberries; there is something fresh for families and foodies.

Off-grid - The grow zone, greenhouse, and tiny house all are powered by photo-voltaic solar panels.  A rain capture system provides the water for the tiny house and vegetables, but not before a complete filtration system including the removal of sediments and micro contaminants, reverse osmosis, and finally, ultra-violet light.  Passive solar offers winter heating for the greenhouse and tiny house.  While at the same time, the tiny house is constructed using LEED technology concepts to ensure the greatest efficiency.

Composting - food prep materials and garden waste goes full circle. A closed-cycle system takes organic nutrient rich waste through the composting process, which is then used to prepare the raised beds for the next generation of organic vegetables.
