Farm Profiles
Cecil Farms Produce
Cecil Farms is a family-owned and operated farm located on the western side of Owensboro. Gary & Imelda Cecil, along with their children: Ryan, Suzanne & Katie (and spouses & grandchildren), are the faces behind the name. They have been growing fruits and vegetables for nearly 40 years: watermelons, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, and more for grocery stores. They even grew 300 acres of potatoes to make potato chips. Much of the land is now dedicated to growing seedless watermelons that are sold across North America, and they began growing produce for local customers in 2011.
Hayden Farms
Hayden Farms is located in Philpot, Kentucky. They have been raising beef cattle since 1983 and began raising chickens a few years ago. They are the first poultry farm in the nation to have a viewing room where visitors can learn about poultry production.
