Century Farms

We would like to recognize the following North Whitehall Township Century Farm Families!

A Century Farm is a farm that has been owned and operated by the same family for at least 100 consecutive years. These farms are recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for their long history and contribution to the state's agricultural heritage. A family member must live on the farm, and the property must include at least 10 acres of the original farm or earn more than $1,000 annually from sales of farm products.

Many Century Farms are also preserved farms, protecting the land for future farming generations through conservation easements. Pennsylvania leads the nation in preserved farmland, with 6,482 farms and 646,754 acres in 58 of the state’s 67 counties permanently protected from development.

If your farm has been in your family for over 100 years and you would like to receive the Century Farm designation, please complete the following HERE.
