2023 Purdue Farm Management Tour Prelude: Hackman Family Farm Market
Megan Vanliew and Jacquelyn Jansinski, daughters of Tom & Ruth Hackman, discuss their roles on the Hackman family’s farm near Vallonia, Indiana with James Mintert. Hackman Family Farm Market is a diversified farm operation and will be featured as part of the Purdue Farm Management Tour on July 11, 2023. The Hackmans have augmented their row-crop operation with produce including sweet corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes and several other produce crops. In addition to supplying several major retailers with watermelons, the Hackman’s also market directly to consumers via locations at the farm and in Seymour, Indiana. Their newest enterprise is a subscription based fresh produce delivery service. Hear how Megan, Jacquelyn and other family members value diversification and how they’ve developed new enterprises to fuel their farm operation’s growth while successfully navigating food safety issues.
