Bruce Dorsey
Co-Owner
Bruce grew up in Plymouth Meeting, PA in between two suburban farms. His home always had a garden and grew up eating delicious, nutritious vegetables every summer. After a distinguished career of over 30 years in drug discovery, he returned to childhood passion of growing his own food by attending Delaware Valley University to obtain a Certificate in Organic Farming. Following several stints as a local farm hand, he and Jennie purchased the Union Farmstead in upper Bucks County. We think it’s important to follow regenerative farming practices, eliminate synthetic chemicals and improve the health of the soil every year. Our goal is to establish a sustainable, small family farm that provides healthy, pasture raised chickens, eggs, and vegetables to the local community.
Jennie Nerenberg
Co-Owner
Jennie is proud to be a co-owner of the Union Farmstead. She believes that people should be closer to the food they eat, understand where it comes from, and what it takes to get to their plates. Eating locally-grown and raised foods by farmers who you can actually meet and talk to is a great way to not only reduce the miles your food travels but also begin to bridge the distance between people and the nourishment they consume each day.
Spencer Parker-Klimpel
Farmer
Spencer has worked with all kinds of livestock over the past 5 years. He genuinely loves the work and is passionate about holistic farm management for healthy ecosystems and nutritious food. He believes that our broken food system is at the intersection of the most critical challenges we must face together and is thrilled to be playing a small part in its reform at the Union Farmstead in Quakertown.
591 Union Road
The Farm
Farmers have been cultivating the land in this section of Richland Township for over two centuries, at least since the house was first built in 1810. Most recently it was farmed by the Wukovits Family, who preserved it as the “Windy Hill”. Jennie and Bruce bought these 31 acres in late 2023 and have committed to returning it to a place where local healthy food is grown and raised, as well as making it possible for a farm to be a sustainable business here again.
