These spotlights are our way of recognizing the businesses that invest in Farm Bureau through Group Member Sponsorships and help make a positive impact for agriculture across our communities.

This month’s Business Member Spotlight is …

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.

New and beginning farmers
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.

Youth pathways in 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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
