How We Started
The Market
We loved traveling for our markets and CSAs over the years. But, as we aged, Crooked Row began to look for a suitable, permanent home.
The Wehr’s Fruit Stand had been a cornerstone of Orefield’s food community for over 50 years. My sister and I spent many happy summer days visiting with the farm animals out back while our mother picked up fresh fruits and vegetables for dinner. We were excited to be able to grow into such a beautiful space.
We are so grateful to be able to open up a shop with a nod to the local agricultural scene here in the Lehigh Valley, and we are so excited to grow with you and for you in the years to come.
The Crooked Row Farm Market offers all you need for a holistic food shopping experience. We strive to grow high-quality, delicious, organic vegetables, herbs, eggs and fruits for our customers while also supporting the other amazing growers in our neighborhood. Other organic producers we trust fill out the tables on one end of the stand, while locally-grown sweet corn and fruit stock the bins and shelves on the other end. In between, you can find a wide array of cheeses, Kombucha, freshly-baked breads, meats, mushrooms, flour and oats, jams and jellies, canned goods and more.
Above all, everything is labeled with the farm’s name, practices and price so you can pick out exactly what you want. If you have sourcing questions, just talk with whomever is at the counter – we all love the food, working with the food, and knowing all about the food!

Our Non-Certified, But Organically-Practicing Growers:
Our Eggs:
Crooked Row – If you’ve been to the stand, you’ve probably met our girls. They are friendly and hilarious, and they also lay the most beautiful, tastiest brown eggs and golden yolks I’ve ever experienced. In the season, we move them through the fields in a rotational pasture system. Furthermore, we feed them supplemental organic grains and, quite honestly, they probably eat more vegetables than I do.
We don’t have as many laying hens as we used to, so we also source pasture-raised, non-GMO feed eggs from Misty Valley in Northampton and the Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-Op. They are all fantastic.
