Who We Are

We are a family run farm just getting our start! We dreamed big and put in the hard work and are ready to feed our community the great food it deserves! We have a passion for food and knowing the who/what/where/how when it comes to growing it, this all led us to starting Dreamland Farmstead.

What We Do

We provide quality produce using organic practices on a 1/4 acre of sustainable no till permaculture farm. We take extra care to greatly reduce the pit falls of modern farming by reducing water needs, reducing soil erosion and reducing our farm foot print.

How We Do It

We follow highly effective intensive planting while establishing a healthy regenerative soil processes as used by farmers such as Joel Salatin, Jean-Martin Fortier and Eliot Coleman. As well as follow permaculture practices to reduce weeds, pests and disease, while increasing soil structure, biology and vitality.

 
Last weekend we prepped more beds, played in the sprinkler, tended to the transplants, and just sat in awe of our amazing journey. We can't wait to meet you at Fresh Fridays on May 18th! Thank you for being part of our journey! ~Carolyn . . . #lehighvalleylocal #dreamlandfarmstead #freshfriday #buylocaleatlocal

When we destroy our soil through overfarming and over tilling, we are not able to grow nutrient dense food. In fact, one study a packet of sliced green beans had only 11% of the vitamin C claimed on the package. From the book Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan, MD: . . . "A report comparing mineral levels of twenty-seven fruits and vegetables from 1930 to 1980 found modern produce to be depleted by an average of 20 percent, with calcium dropping 46 percent, magnesium 23 percent, iron 27 percent and zinc 59 percent." . . . The solution? Find a local farmer using practices our ancestors used, respecting the soil, nourishing it and focusing on soil quality. Quality soil = quality fruits and vegetables (and quality ruminants!). . . . . . #coopersburgpa #buylocal #soilquality #soilhealth #permaculture #qualitymatters #soilhealthmatters #quakertownpa #southernlehighvalley #farmersmarket #supportyourfarmer #knowyourfarmer #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #localharvest #locallygrown
Our little homestead just gained 6 little ladies. Great gift for Valentine's day!
Food don't grow on trees. Well, some does, but a lot of it doesn't! 😜 . . Ken and I feel like we have a responsibility with Dreamland Farmstead. A responsibility to help bring quality produce to our community. . . Kenny recently found online that the old farm we purchased used to be just under 700 acres in 1829. We have about 9 acres now. Surrounding us are beautiful homes, farmland, horse farms and open space with some farms are growing fruit and vegetables for the locals. . . With this statistic we are even more motivated to contribute to our local food supply. Every carrot counts! ❤🥕🥕🥕 . . xxxooo, Carolyn, @dreamlandfarmstead . . . . #americanfarmstead #realfood #americanfarmer #localharvest
Got a little dirty today! We have made a ton of progress and each time we get closer, we get more excited about this year's market garden. 😃
The sun is out on Dreamland! I am loving the sunshine vibes here after the storm. So peaceful and beautiful. 😊
