The History
Schwartz Farms was founded in 1956 by Tom Schwartz Sr., and began as a 200 acre grain and dairy farm. Over the past 68 years they have evolved from a dairy farm, to a hog farm, and are now an all grain farm. In 2021 Schwartz Farms started its commercial elevator Westfield Specialty Grains but continue the Schwartz Farms business as well.
Today
Westfield Specialty Grains buys and sells commercial grain. This includes the full line up of corn, soybeans, wheat, oats and other small seeds, both the latest GMO an non-GMO.
They also contract acres for non-GMO soybean production, providing seed sales for those contracted acres. During harvest production acres are taken in and an offer is made for multiple market opportunities, including forward contracting and delayed pricing with a premium offered for specific varieties. 
Schwartz Farms is open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday- Friday and 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Saturday.
You can find the following seed brands:
Golden Harvest- Corn & GMO beans
AgVenture- Corn, GMO & Non-GMO beans
LG Seeds- Corn, GO beans
Certified Public- Wheat & Oats
Agri Maxx & Go Pro- Wheat
Preferred Seed- Assortment of small seeds

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
