Farm History
Ivan W. Martin, the founder and owner of Natural Acres, has a strong background in farming. One of 15 children raised on his parents' Lancaster County, Pennsylvania farm, he learned early the value of hard work and how some soil grows things better than other soil. After starting and selling several successful businesses he has now embarked on giving back to his community in the form of good nutritious food.Moving to his current Dauphin County farm in 1987 he has worked hard to build the soil so that the vitality that can and should be in food could be restored. His philosophy is that with good wholesome food the body will not be as susceptible to the chronic diseases that plague our society today.
