The Fair family grows a variety of produce on their farm, which they sell at various Farmers Markets.
GREENFIELD — Variety truly is the spice of life for one central Indiana farm family. From an assortment of fruits and vegetables to flowers the Fair family takes their harvest directly to the consumer. The seed for farming was planted early with Jim Fair. 'My great grandparents were farmers, and starting in the sixth grade, I worked for farmers all through school,' Jim Fair said. Jim, and his wife Vicki, have grown their Greenfield farm over the years. “It was a great way to raise kids.
'We've got several different varieties of tomatoes, and they're a firmer tomato, because the first thing everybody does at the farmers market is squeeze the produce, so they hold up really well,' Vicki Fair said. Jim says connecting directly with the people who buy their produce brings them back to the markets year after year. 'We've met a lot of wonderful people. We may not remember everybody's name, but we know each other's life stories,' Jim Fair said.
