About Us

Farmer John was raised on the family farm

in Bunn. He was born in the home still used

by the family located in the Back Forty and

has lived here most of his life, except for the

years immediately following his marriage to

Betty when they were first starting their family.

When their son, Russ was 6, they moved

the kids back to the family farm and began

farming tobacco with John's father, NJ.

The family was sustained by tobacco and

an agricultural fertilizer business until the

late '80's when they completely diversified into pumpkins,

strawberries and organics. Now the grandchildren of Farmer John and Betty

are helping on the farm!

Now the 4th and 5th generations are helping sustain the farm! Uncle Russell, and his children John and Margaret are usually working on the farm somewhere; Jacob is off at college pursuing a degree in tourism.

Farmer John is an award-winning farmer, conservationist and organic expert. In addition to organic strawberries, he has planted organic blueberries, which will be ready to pick in 2011, and he is developing another business focusing on many kinds of organic produce. Farmer John is father to Russ, Helen, Jessica, and Joy, and Grandpa to 8 beautiful grandchildren.
