Local. Fresh. Family.
Back in 2010 Benji Adam started planting apple and peach trees in hopes to carry on the family tradition of a produce business. He and Stacey met in 2011 and started expanding the varieties of tree fruit. Soon after, Blueberries, Raspberries, and Strawberries were added, every year planting more and more! Finally, in 2017 the farm's new plantings are now mature and ready for substantial harvests! Thus, the name and official business of The Berry Farm was born! The farm still continues to grow. High density trellis apples were plated, and a greenhouse of raspberries as well. They grow large acreage of pumpkins for wholesale, and even fields Christmas Trees have been planted!
Together they work as a team, there's nothing Benji can't grow; and Stacey, a Penn State grad with a degree in Agriculture, plays a major role in Berks County Agriculture. The two of them had made The Berry Farm and Orchard the success it is today! You probably met Stacey when she managed Ontelaunee Orchards? Now she works as a crop consultant for a major fertilizer company while running The Berry Farm. Stacey was presented the 2017 Tressie S Caton Berks County Women in Agriculture Award, and in 2019 announced one of the 40 Under 40 Mid Atlantic Fruit Growers Leaders in Agriculture award. Stacey's daughter, Emily, has now graduated and holds a stake in the farm business. She hopes to expand the Berry Farm's season with flowers in the spring. We have a passion for Agriculture and love sharing it with our customers! |
