About Fernbrook Farms

Fernbrook Farms is a 230–acre working farm with over 60 acres of woods, two streams and two ponds. Larry “Farmer Q” Kuser, third generation owner of Fernbrook Farms, oversees four businesses on the Farm: The Inn at Fernbrook, Fernbrook Wholesale Nursery, Fernbrook Farms Community Supported Agriculture and Fernbrook Farms Education Center.
