Discover the Bounty of Pleasant Hill Produce: A Sustainable Farming Oasis

Rooted in Community, Nourishing the Land

Welcome to Pleasant Hill Produce, a family-owned farm dedicated to growing high-quality, sustainable produce for the local Frederick community. Established in 2014, this 4-acre oasis is the culmination of Ben and Heather Sayler's lifelong passion for food, farming, and environmental stewardship.

Farming with Purpose

Ben and Heather, both native Frederickians, have deep roots in the local community. Ben's background in forestry and natural resource management, combined with Heather's expertise in mathematics and education, make them a formidable team dedicated to responsible, regenerative farming practices.

At the heart of their mission is a unwavering commitment to maintaining the land for future generations. By employing techniques like cover cropping, crop rotation, and integrated pest management, they nourish the soil and promote biodiversity, reducing the need for synthetic inputs. Their flock of free-range hens provide nutrient-rich eggs, while also playing a vital role in the farm's ecosystem.

A Seasonal Bounty

Over the course of the growing season, Pleasant Hill Produce cultivates a diverse array of heirloom and hybrid vegetables, fruits, and herbs. From the crisp, earthy flavors of early spring greens to the juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes of midsummer, and the hearty root vegetables of fall, each harvest reflects the rhythms of the land.

Customizable CSA: A Farm-to-Table Adventure

Becoming a member of Pleasant Hill Produce's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is more than just a weekly delivery of fresh produce - it's an opportunity to forge a deeper connection with your food and the farmers who grow it. Through the innovative CSAware platform, members can customize their shares to suit their individual preferences and dietary needs, ensuring a bountiful and personalized experience with each delivery.

Cultivating Community

But Pleasant Hill Produce is more than just a farm - it's a hub of community engagement and education. The Saylers warmly invite visitors to explore the fields, learn about sustainable farming practices, and participate in farm events and workshops. By fostering these connections, they empower their customers to become active stewards of the land and advocates for a more resilient local food system.

Nourishing Body and Soul

Whether you're a member of the CSA, a regular at the farmers' market, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of where your food comes from, Pleasant Hill Produce offers a truly unique and rewarding experience. Step onto the farm, connect with the land, and let the bounty of this sustainable oasis nourish both your body and your soul.
