Phoenix Farm
Earth. Art. Food. Fun. Spirit.

Re-wilding a corner of Central PA to conserve and reestablish native edibles,
honor the land, ancestors, the stories that have been forgotten,
and to intentionally write a sustainable future. ​

The land at Phoenix Farm has been in the Dubetz family since 1928, and is unceded from many indigenous people including the Juniata, Tuscorora, Susquehannock, Algonquin, and Haudanosaunee people. From what we can tell, the valley our farm is located in was most likely along a migratory route of the woodland buffalo and the many indigenous people that followed the buffalo seasonally. 

It's 86acres cover meadow, stream, ridged woodland, and contains a huge spectrum of native edible and medicinal plants. 

Currently, its guardians and caregivers are working to re-wild the terrain, returning much of it to hold the original food and medicine sources. 
​
In October of 2019, approximately 1700 plants were put in the ground to be future food sources.  Some of these native species include, black raspberry, high bush blueberry, serviceberry, gooseberry, persimmon, quince, pawpaw, hickory, beechnut, chestnut, sugar maple, black locust, elderberry and more. 

**These plants are dedicated to the ancestors of yesterday, as well as those generations to come.**
