The Farm House   /   The Family   /   The Fields

Since the 1930's, Ackerman
Farms has been growing and
changing to meet the growing
needs of family, community, and
the world at large. From producing
corn, and raising cattle and hogs
in the '30s and '40s, to supplying
Morton's Libby plant with
pumpkins since the late '80's.

In the '50s, pure bred Yorkshire
hogs were added to the farm's
operation, which won Clyde
Ackerman international acclaim
as a breeder. And for his pen of
barrows, at Chicago's 1957 Live
Stock Exposition, he was awarded
further international recognition.

By the '70's, the Ackerman
farming team, "Papa" (Clyde) and
son, John, expanded the farming
operation to include livestock,
acquiring a cow/calf herd and
feedlot cattle.

 

Today, since "Papa's" passing, and John and Yvette, along with their children,
continue the Ackerman's venerable tradition of growth and expansion, offering
not only corn, soybeans, and canning pumpkins, but also a variety of specialty
crops which include an immense stock of beautiful, "hardy" mums, ornamental
pumpkins, corn, apples, and gourds in an array of sizes and colors. Everything
to make your harvest-time home and table memorable each year. Come on out
