A Diversified, Pittsburgh-Focused CSA Farm
Edible Earth Farm offers a year-round, highly diverse and fully customizable Farm-to-Door CSA(community supported agriculture) program to Pittsburgh. A low annual fee gets members a year of free home delivery with no obligation to buy. Get most of your grocery needs delivered, while supporting a local organic farm and other local/regional food producers. Edible Earth Farm produces vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices, pasture-raised pigs, chickens, beef and much more. The farm uses a network of local food producers and even some locally-owned distributors. The farm's objective is to grow as much as it can, source from other local producers and augment with locally-owned food distributors for items that do not grow in Western PA (think mangos, avocado, oranges, bananas and mature ginger).
How it Started..... How it's going!
Edible Earth Farm was founded by April Parker [pictured below] in 2010. It started as a micro-farm on five acres. In 2011, Johnny Parker joined his wife at the farm full-time. Every year the farm expanded. In 2016, the farm was spread across five properties in Tionesta, PA and was a challenge to manage. In 2017, the Parkers purchased a larger farm in Mercer County. Edible Earth Farm is now located in Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania and is a highly diversified operation situated on almost 90 acres. They are located 68 miles north of Pittsburgh and 50 miles south of Erie near Lake Wilhelm and Goddard State Park. They have been farming organically since day one!

The Founders
Johnny and April grew up in the rich farming communities of Central Pennsylvania. They moved to Pittsburgh after April graduated from Penn State. While living in Pittsburgh, they became involved in the local food movement and began to plot the return to their farming roots.
After moving to Pittsburgh, April pursued a career in social services. She worked for several agencies in and around the Pittsburgh area and managed teams of Case Workers and Researchers. During that time, April continued her education in the areas of herbalism and aromatherapy. She incorporates her knowledge into the farm and its products.
Johnny spent his teenage years working on an organic farm after school, on the weekends and during his Summer breaks. Before moving to Pittsburgh, he had a stint working at a French restaurant and learned under the chef and owner. After moving to Pittsburgh with April, he pursued an education and career in computer science and software engineering. Before leaving to farm, Johnny was the Director of IT at Carnegie Mellon University.
The CSA Family and the Community
People from all walks of life are encouraged to join. They welcome everyone as a member of their program. They seek out members who are kind, tolerant, enjoy fresh food and value community. If you have most of these traits, then you'll love your experience as a member of Edible Earth Farm.
Edible Earth Farm helps to feed some of the communities in Western PA by donating food to pantries, food banks and families in need. Supporting the farm through membership helps to make these contributions possible.
