We love food - but not just any food.  We love fresh, locally grown, in season and chemical free food.  We also love this farm and the wonderful little community it’s a part of! Buying this property in late summer of 2016 was the realization of a dream for us.   

Combining our love of fresh, locally grown food with our love of this property (and it's proximity to Pond River) it was then that the concept of Pond River Farm was born.  Using what was a former cattle farm we could create a local food resource for our family and for our community too. 

Starting a blueberry field was one of the first things we did.  Planting about half an acre of blueberries, we will continue to add to it yearly.  Hopefully planting blackberries will be soon on the agenda too. We grow in-season vegetables in open fields - staples like tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, squash as well of lots of other vegetables. In 2017 we installed or first high tunnel and in 2022 we installed our second high tunnel. What a game changer those high tunnels are for our farm!  We are able to plant earlier in the year and harvest later in the year - it is a true season extender.  Lately I’ve been experimenting with year-round production. There is a bit of a learning curve to that but I will keep you updated!

In 2023 we added another game changer to the farm. We now have a FARM MARKET!! With this wonderful little market we are able to offer our products to our customers year-round! The farm market is open 5 days a week and it’s stocked with in-season produce, farm fresh eggs, delicious baked goods, local honey, gourmet jams/jellies and pickles.

Speaking of pickles…that is actually what our farm is best know for. We grow amazing cucumbers and from those we make pickles! Lots and lots of delicious pickles, in many different varieties. We are the largest pickle producer in Hopkins County and we are very blessed that customers come from all over just to buy our pickles.

Come taste the home grown and hand crafted difference!
