A new farm taps into deep roots in Lawnside | Kevin Riordan

Micaiah and Cynthia Hall are cultivating their half-an-acre backyard in Lawnside into a source of fresh produce for their three children and for farmers markets in Camden County and Philadelphia.

Micaiah Hall, 42, learned to farm as a kid and since 2017 has been doing so with his wife, Cynthia, at their Free Haven Farms in Lawnside, NJ. Rather than using chemicals, they cover plants with mesh so that predatory pests can't consume the crops. The mission of the farm "is all about the accessibility of produce and to help people understand what that is," says Micaiah.
