It also raises laying hens and pasture-raised chickens, integrating livestock into its approach to sustainable agriculture.

These methods help maintain healthy soil, support biodiversity, and produce nutritious food throughout the growing seasons. Customers can purchase fresh farm products through customizable weekly and biweekly CSA subscriptions, an on-farm stand, community pickup locations, farmers markets, and local home delivery throughout parts of Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The farm also partners with more than 70 regional producers to provide additional locally sourced groceries. Flying Plow Farm is committed to strengthening regional food systems, supporting sustainable agriculture, and making fresh, responsibly grown food more accessible to local communities.
