Founder of Wyebrook Farm
SACC-Philadelphia selected Wyebrook Farm due to its strong
commitment to sustainable business practices in the agriculture
industry. Wyebrook Farm is located in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania
in Chester County. Wyebrook Farm provides an alternative to the
industrial food supply by creating a diverse polyculture on the farm.
This provides the farm with healthy animals and great food without
any use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, hormones or
antibiotics. Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is
healthy for consumers and animals, does not harm the environment,
is humane for workers, respects animals, provides a fair wage to
the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities. Dean
Carlson, the owner of Wyebrook Farm, is a Scandinavian American.
“Our Chamber is proud to recognize Wyebrook Farm as
its Business Entrepreneurial Award recipient for 2015” says
David Engstrom, President of SACC-Philadelphia.
