Our Story

Picture
Tait Farm is a diversified family farm in central Pennsylvania. We are located 7 miles east of State College and Penn State University. Tait Farm Foods is a multi-faceted company that has evolved enormously over the years. It includes 8 acres of certified organic vegetables, fruits, and greenhouse production that serve our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program known as Community Harvest; our on-farm retail store, The Harvest Shop; a farmers market; and several local restaurants. We manufacture a line of 60 + specialty foods in the nearby village of Boalsburg and sell our products at the farm, through this website, and to retailers and restaurants. Our Harvest Shop is open year-round and is a destination for locals and travelers alike. In addition to our own food products, we carry other regional artisan foods and crafts, as well as seasonally-inspired décor and gifts for the kitchen, home, and garden. Our seasonal Greenhouse is truly the area’s secret garden for the kitchen and cottage gardener. We offer a great selection of garden seeds, unique plants, pots and organic gardening supplies. The enterprises of Tait Farm Trees and Tait Farm Bassets also operate on the farm under their own banner and separate family ownership. These include over 25 acres of cut-your-own fir and pine Christmas trees and the famous Tait Basset hounds. We welcome you to visit the farm anytime! Read More

We can help you create the perfect hostess, birthday, and friendship gift, as well as customize any of our collections for a personal touch. Read More
