Squirrel Dance
Farm
Tea, Flowers, Honey and Happiness
Hello and Welcome! Squirrel Dance Farm is an herbal tea, cut flower and honey farm in Gloucester County, New Jersey. We use organic farming techniques, and we work to build a healthy environment for the plants and animals that call our farm home. Industrial agriculture practices in decades past have degraded the soil and negatively impacted the environment on many farms in South Jersey. It is our goal to restore the land on our farm, improve the soil and encourage a return of native species and habitat. We wish to cultivate a space where visitors and workers can feel at home in a healthy thriving corner of the world.

The Land
Squirrel Dance Farm is located in the inner coastal plain region of New Jersey. This area was once home to deciduous hardwood forests dominated by oak, beech and hickory species. In the centuries since European colonization, the area has mainly been used for agriculture. Squirrel Dance itself was owned and managed for several generations as a fruit orchard and vegetable farm.
