Farm
Hardler Farm
Also known as: Hardler Farm LLC
A family-operated dairy and meat farm in Honesdale, Pennsylvania (Wayne County), producing raw milk, soft cheeses, yogurt, beef, and pork. Operates as one of the bioregion's verified raw-milk producers under PA's regulated raw-milk permitting framework — meaningful chain-of-custody and food-safety discipline at small farm scale. Distributes through Flood's Nursery & Farm Market in Cresco and other regional aggregator outlets.

What they produce
- [[raw-milk|Raw milk]] — under [[poconos|Pennsylvania]]‘s regulated raw-milk permit framework
- Soft cheeses — produced on the farm from the herd’s milk
- Yogurt — small-batch, on-farm
- Beef and pork — pasture-raised, sold direct and through regional aggregators
Why it matters
PA’s raw-milk regulatory framework is one of the more developed in the U.S. — permitted producers are inspected, record their pre- and post-handling, and are accountable for chain-of-custody from cow to customer. Operations that hold raw-milk permits and successfully maintain them year after year are demonstrating substantial food-safety discipline. Hardler’s continuity in the program puts them in the bioregion’s verifiable-quality dairy tier.
The on-farm cheese and yogurt production is the value-add layer that makes the small-dairy operation viable on commodity-milk economics that have collapsed for most peers.
