PRODUCERS
An agricultural producer is a farmer or rancher, who is engaged in the business of using the land to produce crops, or breed and raise livestock through day-to-day labor and field operations. Generally, producers under the AgroLegacy program are those who participate in the risks of production. Each of them is deeply committed to the lands they farm and the animals they care for.

The Bryants are farmers rooted in Wayne County, Pennsylvania, for more than 125 years. Highland Farm was established in 1841 by Asil Dann, whose family traveled from Connecticut, passing through Sullivan County, New York, on their way to what is now Honesdale.
Mr. Dann’s daughter Elizabeth (Libby) married Burton Bryant. And since Burton and Elizabeth Bryant first cultivated the glacial till of Highland Farm in the 1880s, more than five generations have been sustained by this land.
Essayist and farmer Wendell Berry believes that family farmers establish a connection to their land, a connection charged with the “profound and mysterious knowledge that is inherited, handed down in memories and names and gestures and feelings.”
Like Berry, the Bryants share an intimate understanding of their farm. They have a place rich in history and full of promise to call home.
