Poverty Acres

The farm has been in the family of MaryAnn Harper Victor for nearly 200 years. During the depression the family lost a larger part of the farm, Eureka Farms, on Palmer Road and located on the smaller portion on Mt Olive Road. MaryAnn's father, at some time, started calling it Poverty Acres. Earl Harper, her grandfather, and Karl Harper became well known for their quality Poland China Hogs. Both are members of the Ohio State Hall of fame, having several Grand Champions at the Ohio State Fair. Sam and MaryAnn, with the mentoring of Butch Molloy, are utilizing the rich soil to produce very high quality produce. Many customers claim it is the best ever grown in Ohio. Many old timers claim it is the best sweet corn they have ever tasted. Our Mission is very simple: To Be The Best! Good, Better, Best == we never let it rest == until good becomes better, and better becomes -- The Best. MaryAnn hosts an occasional Farm Tour and they have created a living pizza for children to learn about food from the beginning planting, to the harvest, and on their plate.
