Greg Swartz has been farming in the Upper Delaware River Valley since 2000, beginning as an apprentice on local farms in Sullivan County, NY. In 2007, he and wife Tannis Kowalchuk bought their first farm in Wayne County, PA. During the first couple years of building the farm, Greg held down two jobs, farming part-time and serving as executive director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY). In 2010, Willow Wisp Farm earned its organic certification, and he returned to full-time farming and hasn’t slept much since. In 2015 Willow Wisp Organic Farm moved 5 miles down the road to the banks of the Delaware River. This new farm has allowed a tripling in production. Greg’s goals are to grow high-quality food, improve the farm ecosystem, and employ as many people as possible to show that farming can be and should be the key to economic development in our region.
