Hi all, my name is Ben Silver, and I am a past intern at Verdant View Farms. As a past student of F&M College, Patrick and Elisa have always opened their arms to me and other students to enjoy and explore the stunning beauty that Lancaster/Paradise, PA, offers. Verdant View Farms is a 4th generation farm that manages a cow/calf operation, much like the homestead farms of previous generations. They help newborns learn how to drink from their mothers, troubleshoot breakdowns, practice thrift, and dally in the garden. As farmers, they work within nature’s seasons and specialize in being generalists. The property is also a bed and breakfast that has been receiving visitors since 1967. It is an authentic farm stay for visitors of all backgrounds, a place where relationship with the earth and with others is cultivated.
In April of 2018, they experienced a devastating barn fire. They have since rebuilt the barn, but unfortunately, this morning (9/19) the barn was burnt down again due to another tragic fire. Fortunately, no person or animal was harmed in the accident, but the barn has burnt down and requires serious repair. Please help me in getting this awesome farm back on it's hoofs.
