Hawkins Family Farm

Hawkins Family Farm Hawkins Family Farm is a fourth-generation farm in Wabash County, Indiana. We invite you to enjoy the bounty of the farm with us!
(47)

In 1957, John Leo and Velma Hawkins purchased a ninety-nine acre farm just outside of North Manchester, IN. Today, Jeff and Kathy Hawkins continue the farming tradition started by Jeff's grandparents, operating primarily on a Community Supported Agriculture /9CSA) basis. Shares of the natural farm harvest are offered to folks in northeast Indiana, as well as meat, eggs, and other items for individual purchase.

👷‍♀️👷‍♀️PLEASE READ!!👷‍♀️👷‍♀️

We have a bit of housekeeping for y’all on this fine Friday morning!

1. PIZZAS ARE ALMOST SOLD OUT FOR THE WEEK! If you were planning on ordering at the farm, you better just go ahead and place a preorder as we only have 20ish pizzas left!

2. THERE IS CONSTRUCTION ON ST RD 114! Our good friend has provided an inside scoop on how to get to the farm. Here are his instructions:

“114 is closed between CR 650E and CR 500E. Coming from FW, this is just before the golf course. At the trailor factory, you can turn left onto CR 650E, then in a mile turn right onto CR 1100N. Continue on that for 3.5 miles, turn left onto CR300E and that's the road to Hawkins.”

“The detour signs have you taking 14 into North Manchester. You actually have to drive around road closed signs to take the way I'm suggesting.”

We can’t wait to see you all at pizza night this evening! Don’t forget, the farm tour starts at 6:30.

National is now through February 26th! Have you signed up for your farm share?

We’ve been doing CSA for 20 YEARS and during those decades we heard from our members again and again: “We want to choose what goes in our boxes.” So, in 2019, we introduced our CUSTOMIZABLE MARKET BOXES and we haven’t looked back.

Since then, we’ve also formed partnerships with a growing number of like-minded producers throughout the region to offer a wide variety of local products in our shares, including produce, meats, eggs, dairy products, grains, honey, maple syrup, ferments, and more. It’s like a trip to the farmers market—all in one farm share box.

Check the comments for the link. Sign up today!

We spend Saturday mornings at the computer setting up the next week’s farm share options before opening up the customization window for our CSA members. Then there’s time for a few farm chores and maybe a small project or two before it’s time to start thinking about dinner. Quick prep is essential—that’s why sheet-pan dinners are a great technique for anyone with a farm share and a busy schedule. Tonight’s had bratwurst, peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions, and garlic (all available in next week’s farm shares!). Look up the “How to Make a Sheet-Pan Dinner” guide from for a helpful resource.

📣📣MEET OUR TEAM📣📣

This is Michael and he has been working with us for almost 8 years. Michael's favorite things to grow are Aduki Beans because they are beautiful, delicious, protein-rich, nitrogen-fixing, and easy. His favorite thing about working on the farm is the beautiful people he gets to work with. Michael said one thing he has learned during his time out on the farm is how beautiful Indiana is.
When Michael isn't working on the farm he practices and teaches meditative arts including qigong, and can be found hiking and hugging trees. He works for decolonization and land restoration using traditional ecological knowledge.
Thanks for being a part of the team Michael!

Radish kimchi lookin mighty fine 😎

Our fave, 2021 Good Food Foundation winner, perfect bite of crunchy spicy goodness. We make ours with Korean Radish aka Mu (무) from Hawkins Family Farm
My family of four was all very excited to be getting dinner from Junk Ditch Brewing Company during Savor Fort Wayne. What a great way to spruce up a weeknight! Junk Ditch does a great job preparing and even “plating” their carry out meals.

Junk Ditch uses so many great local ingredients so we have tons to show you! Everyone in my family found something amazing and local on the Savor menu.

We started with the GK Baked Goods famous Pretzel and Cheese from the first course menu, as well as the Butternut Squash Harissa Soup made with squash grown by Country Garden Farm & Market, Junk Ditch's own local farm. Such a warm and rich soup with squash as the shining star.

Each of our entrees was outstanding! The Burger features Wood Farms beef and came with a perfectly cooked over easy egg. Crunchy slaw and a freshly baked GK bun topped off this burger perfectly. The egg came from Country Gardens and so did the amazing produce that went into the slaw and the pickles.

The BBQ Chicken Pizza was perfect. This crust truly can’t be beat, so light and crispy. Hawkins Family Farm provides the tender grilled chicken found on the pizza. Country Gardens produce is featured as well, with thinly sliced jalapeño and cilantro adding great flavor.

The Vegan Khoa Soi featured beautiful produce from Country Gardens. This dish was a Thai delight with crispy tofu, rice noodles and an amazing coconut broth. Add to that the thin sliced radish, Thai slaw and cilantro from Country Gardens and you’ve got one happy family doing Savor Fort Wayne carry-out style.

The Pork Ramen was phenomenal. Gunthorp Farms pork helped to make a beautiful and incredibly savory broth. When the creamy egg yolk from the Country Garden egg hits the broth it creates something magical. The thinly sliced radish topped the dish perfectly.

Since we were at home, we all took a long pause before we broke out the desserts. We were reminded once again why we love to eat at our great local restaurants. The cake and pie truly couldn’t be better, the creamiest frosting and the flakiest crust. Thanks, Junk Ditch!
Got our first Hawkins turkey this year and it is wonderful!
Thrilled to announce that our Radish Kimchi (my fave) and Spicy Napa Kimchi (everyone’s fave) are finalists for Good Food Foundation Awards!

We were selected out of 1,928 entries after taste testing and vigorous vetting for sustainability. Winners will be announced January!

Thank you to our farmers Hawkins Family Farm BroxonBerry Windrose Urban Farm for allowing us to source local produce for our kimchi.
