Welcome
Clover Spring Farm is a 174 acre, agriculturally-preserved family farm in the rolling hills of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The farm is located along the banks of Octoraro Creek, bordering Lancaster and Chester counties near Andrews Bridge.
Primary activities of the farm include all-natural, grass-fed beef, organic apple orchards, quality horse hay and straw sales, traditional field crops, and a greenhouse producing native trees and shrubs.
We pride ourselves on our environmental stewardship and are committed to a number of conservation practices including no-till farming, winter cover crops, rotational grazing and organic pest control.
Activities
All-natural, grass-fed beef
100% grass-fed, natural Angus beef. Our cattle are not fed grain nor do they receive antibiotics or hormones. We are committed to providing the healthiest and highest quality beef.
Organic apples
New orchard blocks are maturing and several more blocks are planned for the coming years. Currently, we have 18 varieties of organic apples for both fresh fruit and for processing.
Hay and Straw Sales
We sell small and large bales of straw, horse hay (a grass/clover mix), alfalfa, and a high-protein, fescue grass hay for cattle. Bales can be picked up on the farm or delivered.
Native plant nursery
About 2,500 native trees and shrubs are grown in our nursery each year. They are used primarily in conservation projects to protect stream banks, minimize wind erosion and to improve wildlife habitat.
Environmental Conservation
We pride ourselves on our environmental stewardship and are committed to a number of conservation practices including no-till farming, winter cover crops, rotational grazing and organic pest control.
