Pete began dairy farming on the Jones's farm, now Bayard Rustin High School. in 1986.  In 1989 he planted sweet corn on one-eighth of an acre and sold his harvest from the back of his pick up truck.  Deciding to concentrate solely on growing produce, he sold his cows in 1992.  Today Pete grows 70 acres of sweet corn, 10 acres of vegetables, 15 acres of pumpkins, 1 acre of flowers and herbs, and 90 acres of hay.  Pete moved his stand from the Jones's property to the Westtown School Farm five years ago.

  Pete has been farming the Westtown School property for the last nine years.  The stand is located on the north side of 926 between Westtown Road and Shady Grove Road
