In the early 1800s, our family started laying the foundations for Martin Family Farms by focusing on serving people with high-quality farm commodities, contributing to their community, and using wholesome agricultural practices. A lot has changed since William Martin settled his family in Indiana, but that vision for Martin Family Farms has not. The timeline below provides an overview of our history, which we proudly continue today by caring for people, the planet, and pigs.
Today, as fewer and fewer people are engaged in making food, we see the disconnect between the farmer and the consuming public become more expansive. With this division increase, we continue to see a larger and larger sector of our customers interested in knowing and understanding the people who raise their food. To that end, we wanted to return to the roots of Martin Farms to allow interested consumers and customers to look inside all the great things involved in being a tremendous caretaker of livestock and the environment we work in. Telling the real story of why and how we do all the things we do is a great responsibility and opportunity.
