Every one of our members is unique and so are their stories. Each week, the Group Member Spotlight takes a behind-the-scenes look at one of our group/business sponsorship members to showcase their story of who they are and what they do!

Our Next Group Spotlight is… The Schwartz Family of Business

Schwartz Farms is a family owned farm and seed company, specializing in seed and specialty grain. Established predominately as a dairy farm by Thomas Schwartz Sr. in 1956, the services and products offered at Schwartz Farms have evolved over time, while still retaining its dedication to meeting the demands of local and global agriculture and helping others maximize their seed results. Today, Schwartz Farms is operated as a general partnership between Tom Jr. and Dan, and has expanded its operations to include growing, conditioning, cleaning, packaging and/or selling corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, rye, alfalfa and grass seed. They have also expanded to selling trucking, planting and harvesting equipment and software and  custom seed treatment applications.

Most prominently, Schwartz Farms has been involved in the food-grade soybean industry since 1998 by selling non-GMO food grade soybeans both domestically and internationally. To date, Schwartz Farms has exported non-GMO food grade soybeans to several east and southeast Asian countries, such as Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore and Korea. They continue to meet the high demand for this commodity through food-grade soybean production contracts with local growers in Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula and Mercer counties.
