Cedar Meadow Farm

Our Story

Cedar Meadow Farm is located in southern Lancaster County, PA. For the past 3 decades, Steve and Cheri Groff have operated this vegetable farm. Now their son David, his wife Noami, and their 3 children are transitioning into management with the 5th generation. We are proud of that legacy! Cedar Meadow Farm is internationally known for its cutting-edge farming techniques that promote soil health. Regenerative agriculture is rooted in principles like reduced soil disturbance, living roots in the soil year-round, and diversity of plant species both in cash crops and in cover crops. All this keeps the soil covered as it was meant to be. The benefits are dramatic for both our operation and the environment downstream! But perhaps even more notable is the impact it has on the quality of our food. Nutrients that we apply to our crops stay in our fields where they belong. This results in nutrient-rich soil and "nutrient-dense" produce. Nutrient-density is becoming increasingly known for improving health. Studies have shown that eating healthier produce can be a strong deterrent against illness and disease. Steve has spoken about our growing practices nationally and internationally and has published a book about the significance of regenerative agriculture on the future of farming.
