Rev. John & Janie Wallace
Located in the heart of the  Endless Mountains Region of northeastern Pennsylvania, the Wallace
Homestead Farm is a welcome retreat and respite from the grind of modern life. Nestled amid the
serenity of rolling mountain farmland of
 Sullivan & Bradford Counties our family, friends and
visitors enjoy their farm life experiences during their visits and retreats to our farm.
Visitors enjoy  weekend summer visits and participate in farm chores providing the children with a
taste of country life. Family, friends, and visitors have traveled from as far as South Korea for visits
and to experience farm life.  Our cattle are all tame and love the attention.
Springtime is a time of new growth and newborns.  Janie brings in a newborn Hereford calf during an
early spring snow as the calf's mother follows.  Miles, a Hereford bull calf enjoys the springtime sun.
The morning sun greets Faith, one of our Herefords, and her newborn calf a Hereford & Angus cross
heifer.  Most of our calving is in the early spring but new arrivals come throughout the year.  
All of our crops are organically grown without any
artificial fertilizers or insecticide and herbicide sprays.
We use a vintage 1940 Farmall H tractor to cultivate the
field.  Even though the Farmall H is an antique classic
tractor it still has to earn its keep on the farm. In the
right picture, Janie is weeding in our organic garden
which supplies our family and visitors with fresh
wholesome vegetables.  
Hay grown on our farm consisting of Timothy, Alfalfa, Red Clover and Orchid grass is the primary winter
diet of our cattle.  Janie rakes a first cutting of Timothy as some late timothy hay is baled and in the far
right picture alfalfa is ready to unload from the automatic bale wagon into the hay mow.  
Wildlife abounds in the mountain farmlands of Bradford and Sullivan Counties.  Whitetail deer frequently
pay us a visit browsing in our front and back yards most every evening.  In the center picture,  a
newborn fawn found along one of our fence rows awaits its mother to return from foraging in the
woods.  Pictured far right is Rascal, the raccoon, making his daily raid on the cats food.
Winters in the Endless Mountains region are long but enjoyable providing extra time for rest, reflexion,
and planning for the new year to come.  Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, sledding &
tobogganing , and hunting sports are favorite activities to the past time away.  With rest and recreation
also comes daily chores of tending to the winter herd and performing maintenance on buildings and
equipment.
