Double Vision Acres is more than just a local farm; it’s a beacon of hope and care for both people and animals in our community. Located just outside of Carlisle, this family-run farm not only provides fresh, homegrown produce but also dedicates itself to giving back in meaningful ways. From donating surplus crops to feeding the hungry, to rescuing stray animals in need, Double Vision Acres is making a difference one tomato and one kitten at a time.
Double Vision Acres is a proud supporter of the local economy, not only through their donations and animal rescue efforts but also by offering a wide selection of homegrown products. In addition to their fresh vegetables, the farm also sells locally raised meats, ensuring that their customers have access to high-quality, farm-fresh ingredients. From seasonal veggies to pasture-raised meats, everything is grown with care and a commitment to sustainability.
They also go beyond their own products by vending and supporting other local businesses. At their farm store, you’ll find not only their homegrown goods but also products from other small, local farms and artisans. It’s all part of their mission to strengthen the community by working together and providing access to healthy, local options.
Feeding the Community: Donating Fresh Produce
At Double Vision Acres, they believe in the power of fresh, nutritious food and its importance to the community. Whenever they have extra produce, they donate it to local organizations like Project SHARE, which helps families in need. This farm-to-community approach ensures that fresh vegetables and fruits make their way onto the tables of those who might not otherwise have access. Their donations have helped feed countless local families and contribute to the well-being of our community.
Helping Furry Friends: TNR and Animal Rescue
Double Vision Acres has also extended its care to the four-legged residents of the area. Through their involvement in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return), they’re helping to manage the local population of stray and feral cats. By trapping stray cats, neutering or spaying them, and then either returning them to their habitats or finding them homes, they are working tirelessly to reduce overpopulation and improve the lives of these animals.
In addition, they’re fostering kittens and adult cats who need forever homes. They’re looking for loving families to adopt these adorable fur babies, giving them the safe, caring homes they deserve. Each adoption helps create space for the next stray in need, ensuring that the good work never stops.

How You Can Help
While Double Vision Acres is already making an incredible impact, they need help to continue their efforts. Taking care of stray animals and running a farm that donates produce requires resources and community support. You can make a difference in two ways:
- Adopt a Furry Friend: If you're ready to add a new member to your family, consider adopting one of the many cats or kittens looking for a home. Not only will you gain a loyal companion, but you’ll also help Double Vision Acres continue their rescue efforts.
- Donate: Whether it’s supplies, financial support, or even your time, Double Vision Acres welcomes donations to help with their TNR program and the care of the animals they rescue. Every bit of support goes toward feeding, housing, and caring for these animals as they search for their forever homes. You can view their Amazon Wish List here.
- Shop Local: One of the easiest and most impactful ways to support Double Vision Acres is by purchasing their locally raised meats and fresh vegetables. By choosing their homegrown products, you’re not only enjoying farm-fresh, high-quality goods but also helping to sustain a farm that gives back to the community. You can find their meats, vegetables, and other locally sourced products right at their farm store—an excellent way to shop local and make a difference.
