Gettysburg, 1863

Located on the grounds of the Hartford House, the home built by General James S. Wadsworth in 1835

The Free Soil Farm was founded in 2009 by Corrin Strong and Amy Carpenter on the grounds of the Hartford House. Currently we have four acres of vegetables under cultivation. We are not certified organic but we do not use any chemical herbicides or pesticides in our production.

We operate a seasonal farm market that is located on Avon Road (NYS Rt. 39) just north of the Livingston County Courthouse. You can join our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and enjoy substantial savings on your produce.

We also offer accomodations at The Garden Suite at the Hartford House from May to October. We are now booking outdoor weddings at the Hartford House starting in June of 2011.

There is also a local tennis club and a stables located on the park-like grounds of the estate.

About the name: Gen. Wadsworth was one of the founders of the Free Soil political party in the 1840s. This anti-slavery party was a forerunner of the modern Republican party. The name also refers to our practice of keeping the soil free of chemical herbicides and pesticides.
