"I have never met farmers more ecologically conscious with such focus on loving care of animal welfare. They are also lovely friendly people too. Highly recommend!"
What our customers say
Met them at market and their lamb and rabbit are wonderful. So happy to find some interesting and not so popular lamb and rabbit parts in such great quality. Such friendly and lovely couple with great respect for their animals and quality of all their products.
I discovered Wild Lea Farm this past summer at market. I took home some eggs and some lamb. I grilled the lamb and it was delicious, best I've ever had! I have been buying lamb "steaks" from them ever since, and even visited the farm after the market in shut down for the season. Their products are first rate, and they are the nicest people! I am glad to be supporting a local farm and farmers!! Highly recommended!

FARM TO FIBER: HANDCRAFTED WOOLEN CREATIONS WITH NATURAL BEAUTY AND PURPOSE
At Wild Lea Farm, we take pride in creating 100% farm-produced woolen products, crafted with care and skill by our farmers. Each piece (whether woven or hand-knit) reflects our commitment to sustainable, small-scale production. Many of our items are enhanced with botanical dyes, made from plants grown right on our farm, adding a natural and unique beauty to every creation.
Supporting local wool is essential for preserving regional fiber traditions, reducing the environmental footprint of textiles, and fostering resilient rural economies. By choosing naturally dyed products, you’re also embracing eco-conscious alternatives to synthetic dyes, reducing chemical waste, and celebrating the timeless artistry of plant-based colors.
MEET YOUR FARMERS:
LEXI BERKO &
JUSTIN SEELAUS
Wild Lea Farm is rooted in a shared passion for sustainable agriculture, ecology, and holistic living, brought to life by it's farmers Justin Seelaus and Lexi Berko. After building extensive professional experience managing organic farms across Pennsylvania and New York, they relocated to the Hudson Valley to establish their own farm.
-
Justin Seelaus: A Montgomery County, PA native and Eagle Scout, Justin earned his bachelor's degree in Agronomy and Environmental Sciences from Delaware Valley College. Alongside managing several organically certified farms, his background spans hands-on farm management and education. Outside of farming, Justin works at Muscoot Farm and enjoys backpacking, playing the accordion, and archery.
-
Lexi Berko: Growing up in Somerset County, NJ, Lexi discovered her passion for agriculture through 4-H before earning her bachelor's degree in Conservation and Wildlife Management from Delaware Valley College. Her career progressed from a local dairy farm to managing multiple vegetable and livestock operations across PA and NY. In her spare time, she enjoys weaving, spinning wool, growing flowers, and immersing herself in nature.
CULTIVATING OVER 117 ACRES
At Wild Lea Farm, we cultivate 117 acres across three Hudson Valley properties: 17 owned acres in Hyde Park and 110 in Staatsburg on Hudson Hollow Farm and the Himmelman estate. Founded by organic farm managers Justin Seelaus and Lexi Berko, our farm reflects a deep commitment to sustainable agriculture. Through Management-Intensive Grazing, we rotate our livestock daily to fresh pasture, providing peak nutrition while giving the land vital rest to regenerate. This practice builds robust soil health and eliminates the need for chemical dewormers, allowing us to farm in harmony with nature.
Please note: that our production and pickup location is on a private residence. Out of respect for the residents living onsite, all pickups must be scheduled in advance. Walk-ins and unscheduled visits cannot be accommodated at this time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
