ABOUT OUR FARM
Hello! We are Fifth Month Farm.
We are a produce farm and C.S.A located in Mount Joy, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
We grow produce year round in our fields and green houses on the five beautiful acres we lease at Cedar Hill Farm.
Our crops are grown using organic methods and so, we do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. We care for the land by building soil fertility through cover crops and crop rotation and encourage beneficial insects to make our farm their home.

ABOUT US
Hi! I'm Devin Barto and I have been working on and running organic farms for the last fourteen years. My introduction to organic farming began immediately after college and I have been devoted to it ever since. I was raised in Manheim, PA and after experiences growing produce in Maryland and the Philadelphia area, Kristi and I wanted to return to Lancaster to start our own farm.
Hello! I'm Kristi Barto and I am a fine artist, baker and plant care-taker. I have grown up all over Eastern PA (including seven years in Lancaster County) and I join Devin as a farmer, florist, web designer and everything in between! I spent my childhood working in the garden with my mother and am a life long lover of nature. When Devin and my paths crossed in 2010, it did not take long for dreams of starting our own produce farm to emerge. Here we are fourteen years later making it happen!
Together we make Fifth Month Farm a welcoming and delicious farm for our community. Whether you are eating our food in a local restaurant or picking up veggies from us in our C.S.A., you will see the care in which we grow your food and taste the quality our practices impart upon it.
Thank you for your support,
Devin and Kristi Barto
