Our mission is to make fresh, locally grown food accessible to all members of the community, promoting earth-centered and community-focused agriculture.

Founded in 2017, Tiny Seed Farm is a community-focused, diverse vegetable and cut flower farm located just north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From the beginning, our main goal has been clear: to create a food system where organic, nutritionally dense produce is not a luxury but a right. Responding to the environmental and social challenges posed by industrial farming and social injustices like food deserts, we set out to grow food that is accessible to all while preserving and enhancing the soil for future generations. While we think our vegetables are stunningly beautiful, we also wanted to bring objective beauty into the world, and in 2018 we started growing flowers under the moniker "Tiny Seed Fleurs."

Over the years, Tiny Seed Farm has continued to serve a wider community while staying true to its roots. We grow hundreds of vegetable and flower varieties, all hand-tended and farmed with organic practices to ensure the health of our soil and the people we serve.  We also cultivate a diverse array of mushrooms, which complement the rest of our culinary offerings.  Our produce feeds families through a robust CSA program and we distribute our goods to local chefs who prioritize quality and sustainability. You can also find us at Pittsburgh area farmers' markets in Bloomfield, Sewickley and Lawrenceville.  There you can connect directly with your farmers! As stewards of the land, we are honored to farm in Allison Park, continuing the legacy of the Simon Family on their more than century-old farm, and transitioning a major part of our vegetable growing operations to the historic Kretschmann Family Organic Farm in Rochester, PA.

Farming is not just a livelihood for us—it’s a labor of love. Tiny Seed Farm exists today because of the dedication and sacrifices of a small group of people who believed in the power of local food. We’ve weathered challenges like extreme weather and a global pandemic, thriving thanks to the resilience of our team and the unwavering support of our community. By working together, we’re building a future where sustainable farming and vibrant local food systems uplift us all.

Thank you all so very MUCH!  We can't do this without you.

About Todd

Todd has been farming and working in agriculture since 2010, and continues to grow his passion for vegetables AND flowers AND mushrooms on a daily basis. 

First, Todd gardened with friends and neighbors in vacant lots in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh.  Later, Todd worked with the non-profit Grow Pittsburgh farming at the Braddock Farm.  

After an internship with Grow Pittsburgh, Todd worked as an employee for the Kretschmann Family Organic Farm.  There Todd learned the importance of efficiency in farming, and many skills that will be used for years to come.  It is Todd’s hope that Pennsylvania farms large and small can work together to create a more accessible local agriculture. 

As you know, in 2017 Tiny Seed Farm was started with the support of many.  

When Todd is not farming, you can find him thinking and reading about farming.  If that's not the case, he is likely in the kitchen whipping something up or wandering around the woods.  If he has the opportunity, he also wouldn't mind dipping his toes in the ocean.
