Description
Next 7 Organic Farm — formerly Her Bold Farm — our family farm since 1805, consists of 188 rolling acres of hillside meadows, pastures and woodlands. Spring-fed creeks meander from wooded hollows through our bottomland into the backwaters of Clendening Lake. Our beloved farm is organically run the way nature intended and chemical free for more than 2.5 decades. Holly, her husband Isaac and her dad John combine their farming expertise and love of the land to manage the garden, goats, happy hens, hay crop, grass-fed beef and baked goods. We believe in the products we sell. We eat them too. Visit us on Wednesdays at the Mt. Lebanon Lion’s Club Farmers’ Market in Pittsburgh, at Good Mansion Wines in Wheeling, WV or take a country drive to our farm and ladle a refreshing drink from the springhouse.
