About Us:

At Gottschell Farm in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania you will find only the freshest and best greens, lettuces, roots, shoots, (vegetable)fruits, flowers, herbs and plants all grown without any type of sprays.  Our family has been growing here since 2007 when we purchased this 1.9 acre property to start a mini farm.  We transformed a sweet corn field into a means of making a living using sustainable growing practices, intensive hand methods and a lot of stubbornness along the way.

Our products are sold on Sundays at the Emmaus Farmers' Market from April until December.  The road side stand is open year round.  Our CSA takes place for 22 weeks during the height of our season from May to October.  Several local restaurants buy our products as well.  

All of our products are grown without using herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or synthetic fertilizers.  Certfied organic seeds are purchased when they are available and never any GMO's.  There are many growing methods we use including but not limited to crop rotation, cover cropping, plastic mulch, crop diversity, attracting beneficial insects, hand picking pests, irrigation, transplants, hand weeding and manual cultivation,  timing crops to avoid pests or weeds, row covers, hoop houses and we avoid growing crops that are particularly problematic.  Our eggs are from pastured hens.  They are fed local, organic feed and are not given any medications.
