What they do
Josie Porter Farm is a diversified vegetable operation hosting Cherry Valley CSA on 48 acres in the Cherry Valley foothills:
- Biodynamic vegetable production — diverse seasonal vegetables grown under biodynamic and organic protocols
- Cherry Valley CSA shares — full and half shares distributed across the season to area members
- Living-organism framing — the farm is managed as a single integrated entity, with planting, animal integration, and soil care coordinated as one
- On-farm pickup and farm presence — members visit the farm directly, maintaining the producer-eater relationship the CSA model exists to preserve
Why it’s listed
[[biodynamic-agriculture|Biodynamic farming]] sits inside the same family of practices as regenerative-organic but pre-dates it by nearly a century, originating in Rudolf Steiner’s 1924 lectures. Its core posture — the farm as a single self-regulating organism — is voice-aligned with the platform’s kincentric-ecology framing. The CSA model it uses is one of the cleanest community-scale economic forms for keeping farm income stable and consumer-farmer relationships intact.
For 0mn1.one, this is a partnership-grade neighbor: small enough to actually collaborate with, mature enough to know what it’s doing, and philosophically already in the same room.
Bioregional fit
Cherry Valley sits in the southern foothills of the [[poconos|Poconos]], transitioning from the plateau into the [[harrington-delaware|Delaware]] River drainage. The valley microclimate gives a longer effective season than the higher plateau, making it well-suited to diverse vegetable production. Josie Porter Farm models what a small biodynamic operation in this microclimate can sustain.
