All of our plants are started in Tilth Soil — a premium living soil made from food-scrap compost and alive with beneficial microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and other soil life.
Unlike standard potting mixes that are mostly lightweight fertilizer carriers with little biology, Tilth Soil builds real, vibrant soil life from the very beginning.
When you bring one of our plants home, you're getting more than a healthy starter — you're getting a plant that’s already thriving in biologically active soil, giving it the best possible foundation for success in your garden or containers.
We are a diversified organic farm near Pittsburgh offering a 100% full-choice CSA with free home delivery to the greater Pittsburgh area. You’ll also find pasture-raised meats, herbs, value-added items, and healthy plants grown right here in Tilth living soil.

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 Parker's 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!
Edible Earth Farm's CSA is founded on the key principles of Quality, Choice, Affordability and Innovation.
Harvesting and holding processes are strict and ridged with an emphasis on preserving the longevity of the crops produced. Most items are harvested within a few days of delivery. Crops are processed and managed in a modern, food-safe processing facility custom made for Edible Earth Farm.
Edible Earth Farm pioneered the technology behind the Full Choice CSA program and rolled it out to Pittsburgh. It was the first farm in Western PA to offer its members the option to choose every item for the Main Season CSA. It's like a virtual farmers market.
Because members transact directly with the producer, members get the very best price on items. Edible Earth Farm provides the most diverse and affordable food delivery service in Pittsburgh. Fresh Organic Food For All
The farm is proud to pioneer improvements in direct-to-consumer services, logistics and organic farming techniques. The farm managers are constantly working to improve and optimize the production and delivery of fresh organic food, all with an eye toward impact reduction techniques and sustainability.
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.
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.
