From Harvest to Home — A Message from Our Founder

"Cherry Valley Organics is a collaboration. We are growers, scientists, food and health enthusiasts, teachers, caretakers and nutritionists. But most importantly, we are all farmers who are committed to growing and producing high-quality, USDA-certified organic products for our community. Our story began in 2001 when I started a one-third-acre “urban farm” in the Pittsburgh suburb of Crafton. Today, we are one of the leading producers of organic products in southwestern Pennsylvania. With the love, support and help of our community, we built our farm from the ground up and continue to hold true to our values of clean living, fair liveable wages and sustainability."

 

Jodi Danyo, Founder and President of Cherry Valley Organics

People. Plants. Community.

Cherry Valley Organics is a collaboration. Unlike traditional family farms, we come from diverse geographical, family, and professional backgrounds. We are growers, scientists, food & health enthusiasts, teachers, caretakers, and nutritionists. We are all farmers. And, all of us here at Cherry Valley Organics are committed to growing and producing high quality certified organic products for our community. We would never compromise on organics. Ever.

Cherry Valley Organics, founded in 2001 by Jodi Danyo, has since grown into one of the leading producers of organic products in southwestern Pennsylvania. Begun as a one-third-acre “urban farm” in the Pittsburgh suburb of Crafton, Cherry Valley Organics now encompasses approximately 36 acres in nearby Cherry Valley, Washington County, PA. Despite this expansion, the footprint of the operation is still quite small with farming operations encompassing less than 6 acres.

The farm was built, quite literally, from the ground up!
