Eckerton Hill Farm is the project of farmer and writer Tim Stark who has been growing a wide variety of vegetables with an emphasis on heirlooms since 1995. This includes over 100 varieties of tomatoes and 40-60 varieties of chile peppers every year. Until recently all growing took place on leased land and was direct marketed to New York's Union Square Greenmarket. This past year has been a milestone in Tim and his crew's farming saga having now become an actual farm owner with the purchase of the historic Angstadt farm, a beautiful 57 acre farm sitting atop the Oley valley in Lobachsville, PA. With this new chapter we at Eckerton Hill hope to continue providing high quality heirloom vegetables to New York's finest restaurants and at the Greenmarket while also developing local community by starting a CSA, holding farm dinners, and creating educational opportunities that include farm internships and workshops.
