Kranz Hill Farm is located on 13.3 acres of a former Christmas tree farm that is now part of the White Clay Creek State Park. Surrounded by hay fields and the woods of the park, the farm is an idyllic respite from town life just a minute or two away.
The farm is devoted to the cultivation of vegetable, herbs, and flowers, a greenhouse for seedlings, a chicken house and run, a barn, a goat and donkey paddock, and pasture for sheep and horses. We offer Farm Tours, Internships, Farm Hand and Volunteer opportunities, and Educational Programs for school groups, homeschoolers, and summer camps.
Join us for on-going opportunities to volunteer at the farm. We have monthly work days and welcome volunteers to come out and work throughout the month. We need help with mending fences, pulling weeds, planting flowers, cleaning up the barn, cleaning up stables, etc. We also welcome groups to propose independent projects around the farm (planting garden, building interpretative stations, installing playground equipment, etc.).

Mission Statement
Our mission is to return small parcels of neglected or once farmed land to agricultural use, and to encourage those who live nearby to reacquaint themselves with the land and participate in farming. We should all have the opportunity for occasional work in the dirt among growing things, the benefit of fresh local produce and farm goods, and the emotional lift of seeing or knowing that growing things are near at hand.
