Welcome to Five Penny Farm

Family Sign 2009Our farm consists of 43 acres of mostly rugged terrain in eastern Floyd county, resting on the edge of the Blue Ridge Highlands.  Once much larger than it currently is, the farm hadn’t actively produced crops since the 1970’s or earlier, when it was used for growing hay, corn, & apples, & for grazing cattle.  We recently expanded our operation purchasing an additional 47 acres three miles from our home farm site. 

We currently manage about 8 acres of mixed vegetables, cut flowers, herbs, & small fruits.  Specialties include: basils, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons, & summer squashes in both traditional & specialty cultivars, with over 100 varieties of other crops to fill out the selection.  An additional 1.5 acres of cover crops such as buckwheat, crimson clover, rye, & oats create a 5 acre, 12 year crop rotation plan.

 
  

We are proud to be a certified organic farm and strive to meet and exceed the USDA National Organic Program standards by using production and handling methods which provide the best, freshest and most delicious produce.  We are currently certified by Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association.
