14 Acre Farm: You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers!

Are you still at Flow? As of November 2008, 14 Acre Farm and Flow parted ways. We wish them the best of luck, but no longer supply them with any of our bread or produce.

Are you organic?  Technically yes, but officially, we are not allowed to say so. We are Certified Naturally Grown, a non-profit certification program designed for small farms. The major difference between Certified Naturally Grown and the USDA Organic program is the cost to farmers and the amount of paperwork. So no worries; no chemicals here!

What is farm-to-table catering?  Farm-to-table catering is a sustainable way to provide high-quality food while supporting ourselves and other small chemical-free farms. Our ingredients come from farms within a 100 mile radius, reducing the time and cost for shipping, ensuring absolute top-quality freshness, and keeping farmland as farmland. With ingredients such as seafood, we follow the guidelines from the Blue Ocean Institute, ensuring that we do not choose over-fished and endangered fish populations.

Why is it important to buy local?  The Emmaus Farmers' Market has an excellent list of 10 great reasons to buy local. To view that list, click here.               

Where can I buy your produce and bread? You can purchase some of our sweets at Mas Cafe, located in the triangle in downtown Emmaus. Or you can stop by our on-farm store in season.  For special orders, call Kevin 610-509-6829.

Where are you located?  The farm is located 6 miles from Jim Thorpe, PA, right by the Carbon County Environmental Education Center and Mauch Chunk Lake Park. Come make a day of it by visiting all three! For directions, click here.

Are you a co-op?  Co-op can have many meanings. Our understanding is that it is more of a food buying club where families get together to share responsibilities for ordering bulk items from a distributer.  We do not have this service. Our membership program is known as a CSA or community sustained agriculture, where members pay for the season upfront, the food is grown on the farm, and the only responsibility throughout the season is to show up each week to pick up bread and produce. If you would like to find a local food co-op, ask us- we might be able to help you find one.

Are You Hiring?  Dreaming of the agrarian life? We're pretty sure we've got this season under control, but please don't hesitate to ask, especially if you are local!  Please don't be upset if we don't get back to you. We actually get a lot of job requests; it would be quite the job to respond to everyone. Sorry! If you'd really like a response, you could call us: 610-509-6829.
