Description
Located in the heart of Pequea Township, Lancaster County, the Herr Farm offers a rare opportunity to own a historic 143-acre property that has been carefully stewarded by the same family for five generations. Purchased in 1895, the farm gained early acclaim in the 1900s for pioneering scientific agricultural practices, including strategic field and crop rotation, enhancing soil vitality and crop yield across its rich alluvial fields. The farm’s historical records detail its impressive stock of 300 purebred Barred Plymouth Rock chickens and herds of Holstein cows and steers, which thrived on its fertile pastures. Today, a substantial 2½-story brick farmhouse remains, currently tenant-occupied, preserving the architectural charm and enduring legacy of this family-held estate. Zoned agricultural, with the potential for future development, the Herr Farm represents a unique investment in one of Lancaster County’s most promising areas. Whether preserving its agricultural roots or exploring new possibilities, this expansive tract of land offers endless opportunities in a location known for its vibrant growth and deep connection to Pennsylvania’s farming heritage.
