Over the past 50 years, Hirzel Farms has diversified into an operation that is comprised of five unique, yet harmonious, areas of focus. Organic and Non-GMO Crop Production
Conventional Production of Processing of Tomatoes and Cabbage

Lou Kozma, Jr is president of Hirzel Farms as well as the great-grandson of Swiss-born founder Carl Hirzel (the microbiologist who started farming due to prohibition).

Between the farm and the canning company, 14 4th and 5th generation family members are still involved with carrying on the family legacy in this way.

Lou credits his Uncle John with the decision to grow organically: as Round Up became available, he decided to focus on soil health. He got into cover crops and experimented with ways to reduce tillage. Hirzel Farms worked with postdocs in organic and sustainable agriculture and kept 100 acres continuously in trials because they didn't have literature to lean on to learn how to farm organically.
