Company description

Full Table farm is a small vegetable farm in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. We sell our produce at farmer's markets, wholesale to restaurants, and off of a farm stand on the property. We farm using organic practices and low till methods in a market garden style. Most of our work is done with basic hand tools. 2025 will be Full Table Farm’s 4th season. Our local community is very good to us and we have a rapidly growing community of dedicated and enthusiastic customers. We’re committed to providing our customers with extremely delicious and high quality produce. We have a program set up with our local food bank so that everything we grow goes to good use and everyone in our community can access high quality produce.

Full Table Farm is values driven with a focus on a great quality of life for everyone who works here. We are striving to be a place where folks enjoy working, feel valued for their contributions and are seen as whole people. Our farm is queer owned and operated. In a time that is often hostile to queer folks, we unapologetically love LGBTQ people. Anyone who works here needs to be LGBTQ affirming.
