Today's Harvest Farm is dedicated to providing you with tasty, farm fresh vegetables.

We believe in growing tasty and nutritious vegetables that are to be sold and eaten right away.
That means our corn is sweeter, and our tomatoes have a more tender skin and that good, old fashion rich tomato taste. Selling directly to you, we don't have to grow vegetables that "ship well", and are usually picked green.
The Jordan family has been farming this land for more than 55 years.
Paul Jordan had a very large potato farm in the early 1950s, and farmed the land with his three sons, Jimmy, Phillip and Harold.
About 30 years ago, Harold began selling sweet corn by the side of the road.
Today, Harold's son, Tom Jordan and his wife, Lisa, farm 550 acres of row crops (corn and soybeans), 30 acres of sweet corn, 15 acres of other vegetables and pumpkins, and 6 acres of peach and apple trees.

We are proud to be a family farm, and everyone pitches in.
Tom has farmed for 30 years. Many of those years, he worked right along side his father, Harold, and now, working at his side, is our son Tim. Together, they organize, plan, plant, trim, harvest, and work at the market.
Lisa and our two daughters Becky and Elizabeth also work in the field, sometimes planting, sometimes driving the highboy and helping with the harvest. Everyone also works in the greenhouse tending starter plants and mums, watering and fertilizing, selling in the market, and taking turns watching over young William.
