Two Particular Acres is a small family farm located in western Montgomery County raising various crops including corn, soybeans, wheat, oats and hay.    We employ various conservation practices including no-tilling all of our acres and we compost the manure from our horses and neighboring livestock farms.  The finished compost is traditionally utilized on our farm and sold in the neighboring community. 

            We began composting after observing the less than adequate manure management practices on small and medium sized horse stables that we typically sold hay and straw to over the years.  The problem stemmed from a lack of infrastructure to properly store, remove and/or dispose of the manure in this densely populated region.  We addressed this benign neglect by creating an organic loop infrastructure that provides a manure storage container which is routinely and regularly removed from the stables.  The manure is properly composted and the finished product is distributed through utilization on our farm and, more importantly, into the local community through suburban homeowners, landscape contractors, nurseries and golf courses.  Our “organics loop”  links these various parties by benefiting each and every participant in the loop and is therefore a sustainable solution for all the entire community.  

            This idea led us to apply for and receive the very first On-Farm Compost Permit issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).  Through this permit and with proper management our farm is now able to provide a number of products and services to the community on both a wholesale and retail basis.  Please feel free to review the products and services listed on this website and give us a call to see if we can help with your needs.
