Shellbark Hollow Farm sits in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania and makes award-winning artisan goat cheeses from our own herd of purebred Nubian goats. Cheesemaker Pete Demchur operates this family run business, making handmade cheese on site.  At Shellbark, we believe that fresh, no-nonsense ingredients made with care contributes to an honest relationship between the food producers and the consumers of America. Thats why we’re proud to use all natural ingredients in our products, and work hard to have the milk processed and on the market in 7 days or less.  Recognized as one of Chester County’s oldest established artisan goat dairies, Shellbark Hollow Farm provides products to many chefs, fine restaurants, retail establishments, and local farmers’ markets throughout the tri-state area. Shellbark Hollow Farm’s herd of Nubian goats produces a high-quality, rich, butterfat milk that cheese lovers crave. Philadelphia Magazine honored Shellbark Hollow Farm with a “Best of Philly 2008″ award for their Dry Sharp Chèvre, and Philadelphia Inquirer name their Chèvre and Sharp 2 cheeses “Cheese of the Month” for November 2009.  Shellbark Hollow Farm is a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture, the Chester County Cheese Artisans, and the Pennsylvania Farmstead & Artisan Cheese Alliance. We’re proud to be a member of the Chester County community, and look forward to participating in local events where we can demonstrate our passion fresh, natural, and honest dairy delicacies.

Pete is amazing and farm is divine!
Pete is one of the loveliest humans I have ever met. It was a pleasure dealing with him. The farm is so calm amd peaceful, and we loved our private sites. The sounds of the animals were so amazing!! The outdoor beach style shower was divine. We had a really clean porta potty!!! There is another one up near the shower. I recommend camping here!

The best camping experience
Peter’s farm is a piece of heaven. We had such a wonderful time camping, exploring the farm, the kids helped feed the baby goats and the outdoor shower is top notch. Thank you Peter for your hospitality and for the beautiful goat cheese ❤️

Our family really loved the farm! This was our family's first camping experience, so it was a perfect spot. The kids loved wandering the farm and checking out all the animals. The actual camping spot was quiet, shaded, and felt very private. The restroom was clean. The location is convenient to Philly. Would love to return at some point. Thanks, Pete!

Perfect for Groups!
We had a blast at Peter's farm. The site was perfect for our group of 7. We were stuck with some rain, but Peter laid down fresh wood chips for us and we were able to stay comfortable and dry. There were several tables and a few extra chairs which we also appreciated. Peter was communicative and responsive to any questions. We loved being able to walk around and see all the animals on the farm. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks, Pete!

Great Experience
Absolutely amazing. Everyone we talked to was so nice. The land is beautiful, and really gives you more of a real camping experience. Fresh goat milk and cheese made at the farm! Just an overall amazing experience, camping site is pretty big for its price especially so, as well as it being pretty secluded so there are no worries of loud neighbors. If we are ever in the area again I will definitely be back! :)
