Welcome to Arasapha Farm located in Glen Mills Pennsylvania. This a true working farm that has been in the Bates family since 1952. The lovely farm house overlooking approximately 80 acres next to Middletown Rd (Rt 352) has a corner stone dating back to 1816. The name "Arasapha" is derived from Mrs. Bates great grandfather Abraham Blakeley's fabric mills which produced cloth of stripes, denim and ticking from the mid 1800's to the 1940's in Chester, Pennsylvania.
