Star Hollow Farm is a small-scale organic vegetable farm located in south-central Pennsylvania, 100 miles north of Washington, DC, in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. We grow a wide range of produce, mostly in small quantities, on about 5 acres of our 85-acre woodland farm. Another 15 or so acres are in our rotation and have cover crops grown on them to improve the soil for their next round of vegetables. We have a flock of 100 laying hens that live in a large henhouse, with access to a quarter-acre pasture. The eggs are not organic, but all of our cropland and other production is certified organic by Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO).

We sell about half of our produce over the web, through our ONLINE FARMER'S MARKET & CSA, an equal amount at the Adams Morgan Farmers' Market in Washington, DC, and a small amount -- mostly cucumbers, radishes and herbs -- through our cooperative, Tuscarora Organic Growers (TOG). At both our outdoor market and online we sell local organic vegetables from our farm and our Co-op; some local but not organic produce (mostly tree fruit from nearby orchards); and various additional items such as cheese, honey, syrup, cider, preserves, some organic and some not, but all locally produced.
