Rooted in legacy. Growing with purpose.
At Scott's Hill Farm, we are building something both old and new — honoring the generations who came before us while starting small and growing with intention.
Scott's Hill Farm is rooted in family history here in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Through early land records, family history, and careful research, we believe with strong confidence that our farm sits on at least some of the original land surveyed in 1784. The landmarks in those early surveys can be difficult to trace with complete certainty today, but we are confident that this ground is tied to our family's story in a meaningful and lasting way.
While we do not have documentation proving that “Scott's Hill” was the original historic name of the property, the name has endured within our family. A farm sign bearing the name “Scott's Hill Farm” still exists today — a reminder that this place has carried identity, memory, and meaning across generations.
This land is more than acreage to us. It is inheritance, stewardship, and home.
This land has been part of our family for generations. One of the earlier generations of our family was established here, and over time, the responsibility of the land was passed down.
A member of our family grew up on this land, and her parents were part of the generations who worked and cared for it before us. Later, Patty and Paul carried that work forward in the day-to-day life of the farm. They leased land and equipment from the previous generation and operated primarily as a dairy farm, while also growing grain to support their herd.
The values that shaped their work still shape our vision today: faith, community, and hospitality. This farm was not only a place of labor, but also a place of welcome — where people helped one another, shared what they had, and built a life rooted in care for both neighbor and land.
In 2001, the cattle and equipment were sold, with the belief that future generations might not want to continue farming. For a time, the operation grew quiet.
But the story did not end there.
In time, the desire to build again began to grow.
What restarted Scott's Hill Farm was not a large commercial launch or a sudden expansion, but a simple beginning: chickens, a vision for the future, and a desire to reconnect with our agricultural roots.
Today, Scott's Hill Farm is operated with care, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility. The daily work of tending the animals, maintaining the land, and continuing the legacy is carried out with dedication and heart.
The decision to carry the Scott's Hill Farm name forward was intentional — rooted in honoring the land, the history behind it, and the generations who came before us. What we are building today is not separate from that history, but a continuation of it.
As we grow, we want Scott's Hill Farm to reflect the values that have long been tied to this land:
We believe animals deserve care, dignity, and compassion. They are not simply products or numbers. They are part of the daily life of this farm, and they matter deeply to us.
We are starting small, but our vision is long-term.
Our goal is to grow Scott's Hill Farm in a way that is ethical, humble, and sustainable — not only as a business, but as a place that strengthens family ties, honors the past, and serves the community around us.
We are committed to keeping this farm in the family, stewarding the land responsibly, and growing at a pace that allows us to do things the right way.
Scott's Hill Farm is not just a new beginning. It is a return — a renewed commitment to land, legacy, and the values that shaped the generations before us.
As Scott's Hill Farm grows, so will the part of our story that remembers the animals we have lost.
The animals in our care are not walking dollar signs. They are part of our lives, our routines, and our hearts. Their personalities leave a mark on this farm, and when one is lost, that loss is deeply felt.
We believe it is important to remember them.
This space will continue to grow as a place of memorial and gratitude for the animals who have been part of our story — because every life here matters.
