In 1989,
Jerry Port and his wife, Kelly, became the fourth
generation to run the
farming operation at
Port Farms, located in historical Waterford,
Pennsylvania. They
started
out
farming soybeans and
wheat and then extended their operation by roasting
soybeans and reselling to larger feed mills.
That was the
mainstay for many years,
until a family member suggested they add Christmas trees
and pumpkins to their mixture.
That is
where it all began!
|
|
|
In
2003, with their two children, Casey and Stephen, and
the help of many friends
and family, a retail pumpkin
market was opened that included corn mazes and
hayrides.
They began the pumpkin patch in efforts to educate
children about the importance of farming and, from
that, it grew into a fall tradition for many families.

Since
2003, the Pumpkin Farm has grown, and the Port's have
hosted many functions,
such as birthday parties, graduations, weddings, and
church functions along with the
Fall Harvest Festival.
Choose-and-cut
Christmas trees are now offered at Port Farms. Santa and Mrs. Claus
will be
visiting the farm on December 11th and December 18th. Our newly-opened
Country Store will be open for your holiday shopping
convenience. Please call for
Santa and
Mrs. Claus' visiting hours.
