Welcome to Swallow Acres Farm's website. We are a diversified,
family run homestead located just east of Georgetown, Delaware.
We specialize in naturally raised pork and garden products grown
without chemical or synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.
WHO WE ARE—Swallow Acres Farm was established in July 2007.
Then it was just Brooks, Lisa, Roy and Darlene, along with the cats
and the dogs. Clara came along in February 2008. We are a
Christian family who believe in the Biblical mandates of stewardship
of the land. We made a commitment early on to grow with organic
methods. Since we moved onto our farm, we have refused to use
synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers in favor of naturally-
based methods. We strive to work with natural systems for pest
control and fertility. Our approach is a combination of organic and
bio-intensive methods.
OUR NAME— Our farm is named after the tree swallows that
frequent our yard and gardens throughout the year. They take
over after the bluebirds in late spring. Once their eggs have
hatched, they swoop through the yard, dive-bombing us if we come
anywhere near the nest.
We also enjoy the birds of prey that we share our land with—the
hawks, kestrels, and eagles riding the thermals over the fields and
the occasional owl calling out of the darkness.
Honored, airborne visitors to our farm include a bald eagle in our
backyard, a red-shouldered hawk perched on our lima bean poles
and dog pen, and a flock of swans.
THE HOMESTEAD— The practical arts of homesteading are crucial
to our life and business at Swallow Acres. We use the ointments,
fresh vegetables and venison, and the foods we preserve in our
everyday lives. We strive after a degree of self-sufficiency not to
isolate ourselves but in an effort to live as sustainably as possible.
Our products are an extension of our lifestyle.
