The story starts in 1997....
In 1997, Sue and Alan Bullock purchased 82 acres in Rome PA, nestled in the beautiful Endless Mountains. They started out with a sheep and maple sugaring operation, marketing direct to the consumer. In 2000, Sue and Alan expanded to include produce, cattle and chickens for egg production. A year later, chickens and turkey for meat were added along with an on-farm processing facility. The various products were marketed direct through farmers markets, restaurants and retail stores. Alan passed away in 2007, and Sue, determined to keep Back Achers Farm viable, set out to add a meat and vegetable CSA program. The following year Aaron decided to leave college and join the endeavor. They have since become partners and presently operate the farm together.
Sue is passionate about working with her family and growing high quality foods. These days she tries to focus on the gardens and lets the rest of us focus on some of the other areas of the farm.

Aaron is Co-Owner and takes care of all the animals here on the farm. He strives to heal our land and surrounding properties using managed intensive grazing practices. He also makes the maple syrup and is a vendor at the Broome County Regional Farmers Market every Saturday!
Sam is in charge of maintenance and repairs. He is basically in charge of building or fixing everything around the farm so he stays pretty busy. Sam is also a vendor at Hillside park farmers market on Thursdays and makes deliveries every Friday to Sayre/Athens.
Once in a while you may even get to see his wife Meg and his daughter Adeline with him.
