Our History
Step into the heart of our family's legacy, nestled in the rolling hills of Southeastern Indiana, where time-honored traditions meet the unyielding spirit of perseverance. For three generations, our farm has stood as a beacon of resilience, rooted in the fertile soil of Franklin County Indiana since 1959.
It all began with a dream, a dream cherished by my grandparents, who saw beyond the weathered facade of a rundown farm to envision a future brimming with life and prosperity. As they journeyed to this corner of paradise just outside Greensburg, Indiana, they carried with them the hopes of generations yet to come.
I can still hear my grandmother's voice echoing through the corridors of memory, recalling the sacrifices made as they traded comfort for ambition. "It was hard leaving a brand new house, in Cincinnati" she'd say, "but Elmer saw a diamond in the rough, and who was I to say no to him?"
With grit and determination, Grandpa Elmer set to work, his hands shaping the very essence of our farm. From the humble farmhouse, where stories of resilience were etched into every beam, to the sprawling barns and pastures teeming with life, his dedication knew no bounds.
Yet, amidst the tranquility of our rural haven, tragedy struck one fateful evening in 1978. As the sun dipped below the horizon, our skies were ablaze with the inferno that engulfed our livelihood. Six barns, livestock, equipment—all consumed by the merciless flames.
But like the phoenix rising from the ashes, Grandpa Elmer refused to yield to despair. With unwavering resolve, he embarked on a journey to rebuild, his hands forging anew the dreams that had been momentarily dashed.
And so, with each sunrise, we honor their legacy, channeling the same spirit of resilience and determination that courses through our veins. Just as they rebuilt from the ground up, we carry forth their vision at FarmTable Meat Co. - a trusted provider of farm-fresh, locally-sourced meats, connecting our community to the bounty of our land.
