Our History
Little did our family's ancestors realize when they first settled in northeastern Ohio, in the early 1800s, that these beautiful rolling hills would become some of the most productive farmland in the state. After 100 years of being farmed by the Baird family, Jerome Hull realized the true potential of the plot that was part of Section 4 in Green Township of Mahoning County.
In 1924, Jerome, then Mahoning County Superintendent of Schools, purchased the 100-acre farm from his uncle, Ensign Baird. Along with his new bride, Doris Humes-Hull, he immediately began growing apples, peaches, as well as children - nine altogether!
Although a full-time educator, Jerome maintained a strong passion for fruit farming.
Eventually, during the Depression, Jerome and Doris began raising fresh-market turkeys in order to keep the farm afloat.
Of their nine children, only son David inherited the fruit growing passion of his father. With his eyes on the future, he left the turkey business in 1968 to concentrate on developing the farm into a fruits-and-vegetables retail operation. In 1978 David, his wife Phyllis, and their four children cleaned the 1881 back barn on the farm and turned it into a year-round farm market.
Today the second and third generations of Hulls operate one of the largest and finest farm markets in the state of Ohio. David and children Dave Hull, Debbie Pifer, Wendy Lynn and families now grow over 75 acres of fruit and vegetables. They sell all of their production on the farm as well as other local produce. In addition, the Hulls offer Ohio cheeses and meats, homemade donuts, pies, breads & cookies. They make fresh apple cider on the farm all year around. The market offers many specialty foods, ice cream, frozen produce, and fudge.
