The farm
Roots deep enough to name a road after.
When the road you farm on carries your family's name, it says something about how long you've been at it. Criswell Farms is part of the fabric of rural Wayne County — rolling fields and farmsteads between Fredericksburg and the heart of Ohio's Amish Country.
This is a working grain farm: corn, beans, and wheat through the rotation, with straw and alfalfa put up every summer. And the barns stay busy too — Black Angus cattle, crossbred hogs, and purebred Spot and Berkshire hogs are raised right here on the home place.
What we raise
Out of the fields, out of the barns.
A true mixed farm — the grain side and the livestock side feed each other, the way farms around here have always worked.
Corn, beans & wheat
The backbone of the operation — a working rotation of corn, soybeans, and wheat across our Wayne County ground.
Straw & alfalfa
Clean straw off the wheat and quality alfalfa put up through the summer — for our own barns and yours.
Black Angus
Black Angus cattle raised on the home place — the breed that set the standard for beef, fed and finished with our own grain.
Berkshire, Spot & crossbred
Purebred Berkshire and Spotted hogs alongside quality crossbreds — raised for the table and for the show ring.
Beef & pork
Straight off the farm, onto your table.
High-quality Angus beef and Berkshire pork, raised right here and sold straight off the farm to your table. You know the farm, you know the farmer, and you know exactly where dinner came from.
We also offer a wide variety of crossbred, Berkshire, and Spot show pigs — if you're looking for a project pig, come pick yours out at the barn.
Through the seasons
The year, as a farm lives it.
Every season has its own work, its own worries, and its own rewards. Here's the rhythm the farm keeps, year in and year out.
Planting
Ground works up, seed goes in, and the whole year rides on the weeks that follow. Spring is equal parts patience and hustle.
Growing
Long days of tending, fixing, and watching the sky. The fields do their quiet work while we do ours.
Harvest
The payoff season — long hours, full wagons, and the satisfaction of a year's work brought home before the snow flies.
How we do business
A handshake still means something out here.
Farming in this corner of Ohio runs on relationships — with the neighbors who lend a hand at harvest, the families down the road, and the folks who call to ask what we've got. We aim to deal with everyone the same way: fairly, plainly, and like we'll be seeing each other again. Because around here, we will.
If you're looking for something from the farm, have a question about the land, or just want to talk farming — pick up the phone. You'll get a straight answer.
