About
Blooming Glen Farm, founded in January 2006, is entering its fifth season of production. It is situated in scenic Upper Bucks County, Pennsylvania on 25 acres of preserved farm land in Hilltown Township. Farmers Tom Murtha and Tricia Borneman have been farming together for ten years. We returned to Bucks County where Tricia grew up because we are committed to preserving and encouraging the rich agricultural heritage of this region. We rent the land that we farm from Henry and Charlotte Rosenberger who have preserved the acreage for agricultural use. They share our vision for encouraging sustainable agriculture in Bucks County through organic farming practices which enrich the soil and protect our water and air. We grow over 75 different varieties of vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs. We market our produce through our 250-member CSA, to restaurants and natural food stores, and at the seasonal Headhouse Farmers’ Market on Sundays in Philadelphia, the Wrightstown Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, and Linden Hill Farmers’ Market on Friday evenings in Ottsville.
Practices – Standards for raising or making our products
We strive to be good stewards of the land by maintaining and enhancing soil, water and air quality through sustainable farming practices. We encourage and support a small farm ecosystem of diverse plants, birds and pollinators. Our crops are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or genetically modified organisms. We use compost, cover crops, mulching and crop rotation to encourage healthy soil and plants and to build long term fertility. We believe a healthy body is inseparable from a healthy soil. In order to be a healthy economically viable farm, it is important to have both a diversity of crops, and a diversity of markets. Our goal is to always provide the highest quality product to all our customers.
