Located in Mahoning County, White House Fruit Farm began with Jerome Hull and his wife, Doris Humes-Hull, purchasing the 200-acre farm from his uncle, Ensign Baird. They began growing apples, peaches, children, and a passion for fruit farming. During the Depression, they began raising fresh-market turkeys, and then in 1968, Jerome and Doris turned the farm’s focus toward fruits and vegetables. Their son David, was the only one who inherited their passion for fruit farming. David, his wife Phyllis, and their children renovated the farm bank barn into the year-round market it is today in 1978. Now the farm grows over 75 acres of fruits and vegetables.
