Our farm is an Ag-tourism farm and has been in operation for 25+ Years. It is located in the Laurel Highlands off Rt 219, between Somerset and Johnstown. Our farm has done educational field trips, the Annual Harvest Festival with a corn maze and hay rides, and the Annual Laurel Highlands Garlic Festival. We have also hosted venue events for the Johnstown Symphony, American Cancer Society, Woofstock, Pepsi Corporation, plus fundraising for youth and church organizations, and coach tours, etc. The farm has a 1920s 40X60 bank barn with a veranda, kitchen, and gift shop. Equipment barn, men’s and women’s ADA restrooms, bath house for camping, 2 gazebos and a farmhouse. The farmhouse consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, full basement and attic, living room, dining room, kitchen and a full front porch. The home has hardwood floors and plaster walls. The owners built the business before farms ever considered agritourism and ag-education and are willing to share their experience.

My wife and I own a 4th generation farm, that has been in my family since 1945. It is roughly 60 acres of open field/crop land, and the other 45 wooded. It starts along the creek and goes upward with rolling hills to the foot of the mountain. We are currently leasing to a local farm family, however we are interested in trying our hand at some specialty products, as well as shopping around different ideas to generate some income. I’d also like to fix up and preserve the existing large barn, which the Harrisburg agency said is a four square bank barn built with first cut timber in the late 1700s.

Farm is currently owned by a brother and sister in partnership. This farm has been in our family since around 1820 and we are the 6th generation to grow up on this former dairy farm. The total acreage is about 365 acres, but most of that is woodland. There are about 30 acres of flat, tillable land that would be ideal for high tunnel structures or vegetable production such as potatoes/garlic. There is a high deer population which limits types of vegetables grown. Land is currently rented for hay production, but we’re looking into a more sustainable and longer-term relationship that will keep the land in agriculture production. We recently completed a forestry plan through NRCS and will be doing invasive management for forested areas in the future. 12 fruit trees (apple, peach, pear) in the yard. 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom house is available for rent. Root cellar, functioning fireplace w/oil heat available, large kitchen.
