A Farm Built on Doing Things the Right Way

Hess Farm has been family-owned and operated in Ashland County for over 100 years. Seven generations have worked this land, building a way of life centered on care, responsibility, and long-term thinking.

That experience shows up in everything we do today—from how our animals are raised to the quality of the beef we provide to families across North and Central Ohio.

A Legacy of Working with Cattle

The Hess family has spent more than 80 years working with cattle, including decades in dairy and livestock management. That background shaped a deep understanding of animal care, consistency, and what it takes to produce high-quality beef.

Today, that knowledge is applied with a clear focus: raising beef that families can trust, from farm to freezer.

More Than Land—A Commitment to Quality

Our 750-acre farm supports a carefully managed operation that includes cattle, crops, and a long-standing connection to the land. Every part of the farm plays a role in maintaining quality, sustainability, and consistency.

But what matters most isn’t the size of the farm—it’s how it’s run.
