The owner bought this 150-acre farm outside of Pittsburgh to donate all the crops to a food bank.—Stefanos Chen
The owner, Esther Dormer, bought this 150-acre farm in the town of Bulger, Pa., about a half-hour outside of Pittsburgh, through a corporation for just under $400,000 in 2000, according to public records. Her husband, Brian Dormer, 54, is an airline pilot. Ms. Dormer, the co-founder of an angel investing firm, wasn't much of a green thumb. 'I never had a plant that lived more than three weeks,' she joked. But that was besides the point; she bought the farm to donate the crops to a local food bank, and teach their children a lesson about charity in the process.
