Licking Creek signLicking Creek Bend Farm is a Certified Naturally Grown vegetable, fruit, and Christmas-tree farm tucked away in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. We've been bringing affordable, sustainably grown, and pesticide-free produce to farmer's markets for more than 50 years. Owner and social activist, Michael Tabor, started the farm in 1972 as a diaspora kibbutz. After the city folk retreated back to the city, Michael started farming in earnest and selling at farmer's markets in 1974. With two full-time employees, and as many as four full-time seasonal employees, the farm spans 60 acres, with 30-60% of the fields farmed in rotation each year.

Our philosophy is that a sustainable food system starts with local farmers, who know their customers. We are a worker-run farm, and maintain a 100-member, community-supported agriculture program (CSA). This includes a CSA Subsidy program for first responders and essential service providers.

Our markets and CSAs accept WIC and Produce Plus holding families. A substantial portion of our business comes from WIC and SENIOR farmers-market programs. We sell our produce directly to consumers in underserved communities, to food co-ops, and at three farmers' markets. Our largest market runs Saturday mornings in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington DC.
