We started Plot Twist Farm in 2015, with a small CSA program on land just north of Titusville, Pennsylvania. In 2016, we doubled the size of our farm, and moved to family-owned land located between Meadville and Titusville, just off state Route 27.

We believe in sustainable production methods that closely mirror the USDA organic standards. We never use pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. Instead, our gardens are sustainably managed primarily through locally-sourced compost and cover crop rotations. We believe that healthy plants in a healthy soil yield the best results.

That’s us! On top of farming, Jason works a full-time, off-farm job as the director of county planning in Venango County. Our son, Silas, helps on the farm, loves to hold his pet chickens, and attends school at home. He even has his own CSA for his grandparents! As for me, I spent 14 years as a journalist, now I’m a writer and farmer. — Stella
