From Our Family to Your Family 

Welcome to the Dillner Family Farm, owned and operated by Don and Jane Dillner and family.
We are now accepting members for our 2010 Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) Subscription Program!

We are a third generation family-owned fruit and vegetable farm located in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania since the 1940’s. We participate every week during the growing season in several Pittsburgh area Farmers' Markets, providing fresh locally grown produce. On the farm we have a farm market open from June to October. There are seven greenhouse structures (high tunnels) to extend our growing season. A small orchard and blueberry bushes complement our vegetable production. Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is a successful part of our farm business and we are happy to offer it each year to our customers.

A Sustainable Farm 
Our method of farming is sustainable agriculture. We use the least amount of material necessary for crop protection. We start most of the plants in our greenhouse, and then transplant them to our high tunnels and fields. The high tunnels extend our growing season by 4 weeks earlier in the spring and 4 weeks later in the fall. We use integrated pest management(IPM), which is good bugs eliminating bad bugs.  We mulch our fields with straw bales for weed control that will get turned under to add to the next years organic matter in the soil. We use bag fertilizer that is dispensed into the soil as we form the row for laying black plastic mulch (with a machine).
