farming

In January 2024, we purchased 18 acres of farmland in Gilbertsville, PA with the goal to provide a new model for land access and resource sharing to small and beginning farmers. We are working to achieve this goal by providing long-term leasing opportunities with access to resources necessary for thriving farm businesses. Tomorrow’s Homestead is focused on elevating small-scale producers and market gardeners, who are focused on efficiently producing food on a small plot of land.

LEASE LAND WITH US

Join the collaborative community where you can share knowledge, resources and opportunities to grow together. We have six farm tenants currently growing vegetables and cut flowers and we'd love expand the diversity of products grown (vegetables, fruits, perennials, native varieties, nuts, florals, etc).

  • We offer plot sizes of 1/4 acre, 1/2 acre and 1 acre; with the option to expand into larger acreage overtime. 

  • Farm tenants are able to sell their products at our on-farm retail stand and have access to irrigation, office use, barn space for tool/equipment storage, wash & pack, cold storage on-site commercial kitchen.

  • All farm tenants are not required to be certified organic but must follow the guidelines of the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances and are encouraged to follow regenerative agricultural practices

Our lease term cycle begins January 1, 2026 with the opportunity for a new tenant to start solarizing their plot this fall ahead of the 2026 season. We are also open to starting a lease immediately - just reach out, let’s talk!

    THE BEST ROUTE

    Max and Roberta started The Best Route in early 2023 with the goal of helping mobile markets get started, helping organizations build orogramsyand maybe one day operating a market again. They both worked at the Chester County Food Bank for many years operating their mobile markets. Max doesn’t like “down” time so within a couple of months, they bought their first vehicle-this bus! She was a project and unfortunately a tree fell on her. Luckily Max and Roberta were busy consulting and did well enough to try again, this time with the step van known as Franky. The one’s parked at Tomorrow’s Homestead! Max and Roberta operate their business with the goal of being financially sustainable while bringing good food to people with limited access. Their goal at Tomorrow’s Homestead is to work with each of the other farmer and external partners to source locally for their market. The Best Route will be in SNAP retailers soon and hopefully be eligible to accept FMNP in 2025. Max and Roberta have received a grant to build out a small processing kitchen on the property that they hope will be of use to all the farmers as well.
