Who we are
Welcome to Issa Rahal Farms, our family-owned produce and U-Pick farm in North East, Pennsylvania, along Lake Erie. Today, multiple generations of the Issa and Rahal families come together each harvest to care for the land, welcome visitors, and keep the farm growing strong.
Our shared Lebanese roots connect us through family, hospitality, and a love of helping people. Whether you stop by for something fresh or spend an afternoon picking fruit, we want you to feel welcome and leave with happy memories.
Visit our farm stand for fresh fruit, vegetables, and local goods, or join us for seasonal U-Pick cherries and Concord grapes during the summer and fall. Every season brings something to share, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Come Pick the Best, Pick Your Own!
How we got here
A legacy planted with love in 1972
In 1972, after coming from Lebanon, Wajeeh Rahal bought this farm and saw a blank canvas full of possibility. He and his family built it from the ground up. From the pine trees to the fruit trees, vines, and vegetable plants, everything was planted by hand and carefully shaped with love. For more than 50 years, Wajeeh and his daughters helped it grow into a place where families could gather, pick fresh fruit, and make memories.
After Wajeeh’s passing, his daughters and their families held onto his dream through difficult seasons. Abdallah Issa had visited the farm every single year for 35 years and became family to Wajeeh—brothers by choice.
Abdallah bought the farm to keep it in the family and carry Wajeeh’s legacy into the future.
Issa Rahal Farms was established in 2023, continuing the farm’s 50-plus-year legacy. The Issa and Rahal families still come together each harvest, caring for what Wajeeh began and helping it flourish for the next generation.
The name has changed, but Wajeeh’s love for this land is still here—in the trees he planted, the harvests we share, and the memories families make together.
Thank you for being part of our story and growing memories with us.
