Hidden Hollow Poultry, LLC has filed plans with Cumberland County for an agricultural operation in North Newton Township. It would include two new poultry houses, each about 100 by 600 feet. Together with the other buildings, the project totals roughly 127,100 square feet of non-residential space.
The plans also include an egg room, a shop and a composter. Composting is how farms break down animal waste and other organic material. The site would get gravel pads, a driveway and stormwater facilities. Those are basins or channels that control rain runoff.
The county's most recent filing is dated June 25, 2024. No news coverage, township meeting records or company page specific to this project was found online. This summary therefore rests on the county record alone, and it does not say what is on the site now or how many birds are planned.
What it could mean nearby
- The county record includes a new driveway, so farm vehicles would likely have a new access point onto local roads. The record does not say how much traffic to expect.
- Stormwater facilities are part of the plan. These are meant to manage runoff from the new roofs and gravel areas.
- The record does not give job counts, school effects or utility needs.
Where it stands
The county record shows a filing as recently as 2024-06-25. No public record found online shows whether the township or county has approved it. Agricultural projects like this usually go through township and county review of the site plan and stormwater plan. State-level reviews, such as a nutrient or manure management plan, may also apply.
