Educational Tour For Young Specialty Crop And Livestock Producers

The Penn State Extension Young Grower Alliance is sponsoring a tour to Spiral Path Farm and North Mountain Pastures on Tuesday, November 18, 9 am to 3 pm

Spiral Path Farm is located in South-Central Pennsylvania, in scenic western Perry County, between the Tuscarora and Blue Mountain ranges. Near the town of Loysville, Spiral Path Farm has been home to Mike and Terra Brownback and family since 1978.

The farm has been certified organic since 1994, and all 255 acres are farmed naturally. North Mountain Pastures is owned and operated by Brooks Miller and Anna Santini. The Millers started managing farms together in 2006, and now own 84 acres outside of Newport, Pennsylvania, where they raise chickens, pigs, turkeys, cows and sheep, all with permanent access to pasture.
