Grower-to-Grower Tour: Small Is Mighty at be.wild.er farm

Come check out this pollinator friendly, people-powered farm. 

Each month during this growing season, Grow Pittsburgh and Pasa Sustainable Agriculture are offering farmers and gardeners the chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of Pittsburgh’s unique growing spaces.

In June, we’re taking a field trip to Natrona Heights, PA—about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh—where owner operator Megan Gallagher started be.wild.er farm in 2016. This 2 acre market farm utilizes pollinator strips and people power, “relying on mostly hand tools and a small walk-behind tractor.” Their jaw-dropping veggie displays are a staple at the Bloomfield Farmers Market, and they offer a unique after-market CSA to reduce food waste and feed more folks. “This scale keeps us close to what we’re growing and those we’re feeding, and allows us to focus on quality and customer satisfaction.”

Post-tour potluck: After the tour we’ll enjoy some food and conversation. Bring along a dish to share! This is a great time to swap your growing tips, tricks, and discuss your farm and garden trials and tribulations. 

This event is part of our “Growing to the Next Level” series held in partnership with Grow Pittsburgh.
