General Description
Willow Haven Farm is a third-generation family farm in the hills of the Blue Mountain in the Lehigh Valley. Our diversified farm utilizes organic practices and traditional farming methods such as composting, cover cropping, soil testing, and crop rotation. Our main product is our vegetable CSA for which we tend a great variety of plants from seed to harvest. We supplement our CSA experience with an On Farm Market every Saturday where members and the public can see all our seasonal vegetables on display as well as many of our other products. Reuben and Tessa DeMaster have a passion for nutrient-dense food, grown and preserved with traditional methods. As a result, we make unique seasonal products like fresh sauerkraut; kimchi; brick oven, whole grain sourdough bread; fruit spreads, and more. As part of our vision for a sustainable farm that continues to increase the fertility of the land we steward, we maintain small flocks and herds of pigs, cows, and chickens. These grass-fed, pastured animals return nutrients to the fields and provide high-quality eggs and meat that our customers and our families love. We’ve built this farm on a foundation of generations of Pennsylvania Dutch homesteaders and continue to bring small but valuable improvements each year such as our high tunnel, irrigation system, fencing, greenhouse, and outdoor brick oven.
