Our farm land was awarded to Grant Whitehead in the late 1800’s for fighting in the Civil War. Clearance Hite started farming on the shares in 1929 with his relatives where they grew various crops, sold fresh milk and eggs, hauled home grown produce to Columbus to sell on the streets, butchered beef and hogs for neighbors and even raised bees for honey to sell. In 1984, the first greenhouse was built on the property where vegetable starter plants and flowers were grown and sold. We’ve grown flowers and vegetables to sell at various farmers markets along with mums that were sold at Amish produce auctions. This house has seen many people in our community, whether you were getting your hair done in our little add-on beauty shop or a hungry worker just driving by, this farm has always been a place with the intent of serving and helping others. The farm land had sat stagnant for a while up until five years ago when we purchased a couple of milking goats which ultimately lead us, mother, daughter and granddaughter, 3rd, 4th and 5th generation family members back to the roots and passion for hog raising. We currently breed our hogs to sell feeder pigs and also raise hogs to be butchered with the intent to sell our farm fresh pork right here on the farm. In addition to the pork we currently sell, we also offer fresh chicken products and eggs.

From crop growing to hog raising, beauty shop to green houses, from bringing new animals into this world and nursing sick ones only to sometimes lose them anyway, from early mornings before the sun has come up to late nights in the combine long after the sun has gone down, this five generation family farm has seen no shortage of hard work, determination, and passion even while other less fulfilling full time jobs have had to be maintained.
