Our Vision

To become the gold standard for regenerative organic agriculture through our state-of-the-art facilities, research and development, community, and employment initiatives.

Pocono Organics is one of the largest Regenerative Organic vegetable farms in North America, sprawling over 380 acres in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Pocono Organics has partnered with Rodale Institute, the largest independent organic research station in the world and true pioneers and industry leaders in regenerative organic farming practices.

We have built more than 38,000 square feet of greenhouse growing space and our greenhouses stand at 35 feet tall! Currently, Pocono Organics is a USDA Certified Organic Farm and the World’s 1st & only Regenerative Organic Certified Hemp Grower. Our efforts focus on the gold standards of regenerative, sustainable, and organic requirements.

Guests can enjoy and purchase our produce year round in our Organic Farm Market and Cafè, where our resident Chopped Champion Chef prepares farm-fresh food and sharing delicious and easy-to-make recipes.

Pocono Organics is an agritourism destination with our sister company and boutique resort, The Village at Pocono, which features rooms with full kitchens (located next to our farm!). Imagine the experience of attending hands-on cooking and educational workshops as well as coordinating a team health and wellness retreat. Pocono Organics also exceeds expectations with seasonal events like our Fall and Winter Wonderland Festivals!

Sometimes opportunity presents itself in adversity.

Diagnosed in her late 20s with gastroparesis, a paralyzed stomach which prevents people from digesting food easily, Pocono Organics founder Ashley Walsh found herself at a dead end with traditional medicine that prescribed feeding tubes and medication for her to lead a ‘normal’ life.

Those options set Ashley on a discovery path with an organic diet and lifestyle where she found the health benefits, relief, and hope she sought.

But, two thoughts kept running through her head – first, “How could I help others experience the healing power of food?”; second, “I can’t find a local source of great, nutrient-dense organic foods.”

Those thoughts led her to a vision of Pocono Organics in 2015. Ashley’s vision came to life in July, 2018 at the farm’s groundbreaking ceremony on 50 acres of land in Long Pond, Pa. Having acquired additional farmland, Pocono Organics is now poised to be one of the largest regenerative organic farm in North America at 381 acres!

Pocono Organics has quickly become a trusted food source and employer for the regional community and a collaborator with like-minded organizations such as Rodale Institute, the Crop Trust, and Patagonia Provisions who are focused on global environmental sustainability.

From Ashley’s personal journey with organic foods and environmentally responsible farming practices to its environmental design and educational, hands-on programs, Pocono Organics creates moments and experiences that inspire change and transform lives through wellness, health, food diversity, and sustainability.

Pocono Organics also has a broader view of what sustainable should really mean!

Sustainability is not just about what to conserve. We believe it’s about using what Mother Earth provides in a responsible way for us and generations to come!

Pocono Organics has been designed to LEED Standards and is powered by a 3MW 25-acre solar farm that is also used to supply power for Pocono Raceway. Another unique feature is Pocono Organic’s main office and processing facility, designed to include a 30,000 square-foot living vegetative roof and 38,000-square-feet of greenhouse roof that is filtered and re-used for irrigation of greenhouses crops.

We have also created a robust composting program with our neighbors at Pocono Raceway. During future expansions, we will continue to expand our greenhouses up to a total of 120,000 square feet of growing space.

In an effort to support cleaner air and soil remediation studies, Pocono Organics works closely with Rodale Institute to grow and study industrial hemp.

These purpose-built, environmental-mind practices have leaders in the organic farming industry saying that Pocono Organics is a world-class beacon for how future sustainable farms should be designed and operated!

We’re going back to our roots!
