Description
Susan Rommelfanger grew up on a farm north of Towanda. She gardened with her father from a very young age. Her dream was to raise food to feed communities where she lived. In 2016 Rommey Farms was established in the heart of the Flint Hills west of Cassoday. With a half-acre tilled from a cattle holding pen, she and her husband Don planted their first garden on the land. They follow sustainable agriculture practices. Susan always wanted chickens and for their wedding gift were given 5 chickens from Susan’s cousin to start their flock. Don manages a small Angus cow/calf operation and apiary. The farm grows a wide variety of vegetables and cut flowers. They sell direct through the farms Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). Today Don and Susan run the farm, with occasional help from children, grandchildren and volunteers. During the year, all sorts of vegetables, fruits and honey are harvested and delivered to CSA members.
