SMALL FARMER

The Small Farmer is Pittsburgh-area market garden run by a wife-and-husband team on a fraction of an acre in Gibsonia, PA. We focus on high quality vegetable production through sustainable, small-scale agriculture... The land was historically farmed before us, most recently in dairy grazing and wheat, until it lay fallow for thirty years. We began farming on this space as an experiment, an extension of an obsession that caused our kitchen garden to triple in size every year. What started as a "what-if" in quickly grew into a full market garden and CSA in 2018, focusing on biointensive, biodiverse, and sustainable growing practices. We currently grow mixed vegetable production on a quarter of an acre and are expanding into fruit production.
