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.

SOIL IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE FOOD WEB. . . Soil that lacks diversity of bacteria, fungi, and decomposers like earthworms and beetles that are normally found in nature, is not a sustainable farming system. Dead soil not only is unable to grow healthy crops, but it is unable to feed the rest of the food chain (no earthworms and other bugs means no food for frogs, reptiles, birds...no food for these guys means no food for bigger animals and so on). . . When a field is not properly managed by your farmer, there is a risk of creating a dead zone for all life. Synthetic fertilizers and other sprays, monocrops without rotation and composting, over tilling... these practices do not build healthy topsoil. And with just 1-3% soil organic matter in our topsoils remaining, we are facing an actual crisis, a threat to our future ability to grow food. . . This is why we are so passionate about the type of farming we do and grateful and encouraged there is a movement under way of farmers that are speaking up and doing the work to help restore our soil health. . . We are also encouraged and grateful for our farming community in the Lehigh Valley and all of our customers that support us. Know that you are supporting so much more than our little farm!
The first lettuce babies are in! Starting small with just one row of transplants. Fingers crossed the system works and grows some delicious leafy lettuces. What do you prefer green lettuce or purple? 😊 👇 . . #dreamlandfarmstead #aquaponics #nerdfarming #localfoodmarketlv #beyondorganic
Hi! It's been a while since we popped in to say hello. I'm Carolyn and this is farmer Ken. Last year we started this dream of ours to sell beyond organic veggies to our community (shout out to the spicy mix!). And it was amazing! But also exhausting so we have taken a break from social media while catching up on new and exciting things. 😉 . . We are thrilled to continue the journey this year and can't wait to share what we've been working on with you! Ken has been busy figuring out the aquaponics system for our first test run of lettuces. And he has been carefully perfecting conditions for microgreens. We are hoping to have some produce available for purchase through the @localfoodmarketlv online pick your own local food store soon! 😁 . . Thanks for following along on our journey! ❤ . . #dreamlandfarmstead #dwntnallentownlfm #localfoodmarketlv #coopersburgpa #aquaponics #localgrown
