\"\"Steve Finlayson<\/h3>\n

Trained as a research chemist, Steve started farming while working for a major chemical company. He bought a plot of land in the early \u201880s, built a house on it, and moved his family of 6 children and wife to the farm. The topsoil was gone, it was mostly clay and not very suitable for farming. Through composting, careful management, no-till practices, and pasturing livestock on the land, it has become a rich black dirt farm that now produces a rich lush pasture \u2013 all done without the addition of chemical fertilizers.<\/p>\n

The farm started with a small garden and some horses which progressed to pigs, chickens, and a goat as well.\u00a0 Once Steve began cattle farming the game changed.\u00a0 There was a need for growing his own cattle to help supplement feeding his family and soon it blossomed into a business of selling quality grass-fed beef to the local community and then the high school and college.\u00a0 The herd grew from a few to nearly 100 head of cattle in 2018.\u00a0 Steve harvests his own organically grown hay from fields nearby and allows his cattle to graze on the fertile land he has created for them.\u00a0 The farm has grown over the years, as has the demand for quality grass-fed beef.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff Howell<\/h3>\n

Jeff runs a contracting business usually and is a skilled mechanic, welder, and all-around handyman. If you need an unusual job done, Jeff will figure out how to do it economically but soundly. He also raises horses on his farm. Together with his longtime friend Steve, they embarked on growing the farm into the enterprise it has become today.\u00a0 Jeff also harvests the hay to feed the cows (and his horses) in the cold winter months and works on the farm when he can.\u00a0 When it is time to herd, sort and check the cows, he is hands-on. He is also the fixer for all the breakdowns Steve is skilled at creating. Jeff\u2019s construction talents have been invaluable in creating the farming enterprise and helping build the barns, fences, roads, and alleys. He has also helped with the installation of solar panels as well as modifying and building custom equipment to more efficiently work the farm operation.\u00a0 This is not a picture of Jeff, however, it is an AI-generated picture from the words (Large, Caucasian, Cowboy, Beard, Rugged).<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/h3>\n

FH Farms\u00a0was established in 1985 by Steve Finlayson on their family farm of 25 acres in Granville, Ohio. Our\u00a0mission is simple: We product the highest quality grass fed beef, without antibiotics, hormones, or grain finishing.\u00a0 We want our customer to not only taste the difference, but feel the difference in health benefits.<\/p>\n

Change In Modality<\/h3>\n

30 years ago we\u00a0operated a strictly\u00a0conventional\u00a0farm raising a few cattle and an acre garden for personal use.\u00a0However, as\u00a0a result of a the growing need to feed our family quality products, we realized a need to provide the rest of the community with grass fed beef and began scaling our production of beef. We have come to the believe that\u00a0how we manage our soil, plants and animals will directly affect the\u00a0health of those who consume the products of our farming choices.<\/p>\n

The New Vision<\/h3>\n

In the late 1980s we began scaling the production of our grass fed beef to sell to local institutions and our community. Due to the continued support of our community,\u00a0our vision was eventually realized when the local school system and college began serving our beef to their students.\u00a0 Providing a high quality, healthy product to those students and our community has created a viable\u00a0 business based in sustainability.\u00a0 From our cattle to the soil and from our solar grid to our organic hay, we provide a product to the community that is healthy and sustainable.\u00a0 \u00a0Our farm is small and efficient.\u00a0 We have solar panels on the barn that provide power in a sustainable and in renewable manner which adds to the sustainability of the farm on a whole.\u00a0 Our New Vision includes providing our customers with the best quality cuts of beef while protecting our family farm and the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
