At Jacksons, we strive to provide high quality produce at a reasonable price and we guarantee satisfaction.
Jackson's Farm Market was established in 1970 when Don Jackson and his wife, Lee, planted 300 strawberry plants on Eleazer Road in Caesarcreek Township. The family farm grew into a pick your own strawberry farm with 15 acres of strawberries. Other crops, including muskmelon, tomatoes, sweet corn, and watermelon, were added. Don and Lee's children, as well as neighbors and extended family, worked on the farm and helped sell the produce on Eleazer Road. Eventually additional acreage on US 68 was purchased and the harvest was sold from a wagon and a corncrib there as well as at farm market locations throughout Greene County.
After graduating from The Ohio State University, son Tom Jackson took over the operation, building the current US 68 Farm Market. Today, Tom works growing and harvesting 6 acres of strawberries and 8 acres of sweet corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, summer squash, winter squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers and eggplant as well as managing the market. He and his wife, Karen, continue providing fresh, local produce to the community while their children make the third generation of Jacksons to help with the farm. Don's and Lee's great-grandchildren, a fourth generation of Jacksons, are learning how to pick and enjoy strawberries, and will likely join the family farm market team as they grow older.
Our produce is now sold at the US 68 market and at the Yellow Springs Farmers Market on Saturday mornings.
