History of Sims Sod Farm

Sims Family Farm is run by Bernard, Janet, Kevin(son), and Betsy (Kevin's wife). We are hands-on managers who work in the fields every day. Our family strives for excellence in every aspect of the farm whether we are growing sod or cows. Our products are the highest quality available.

For over 100 years, our family has been blessed to have this farm, but it hasn't always been called Sims Farm. In the past, the farm has been owned by ancestral names of McDaniel, Benton, and Sims and was previously a produce farm. Under our name, Sims, the farm became a dairy in 1946. Bernard Sims, current co-owner, and farm co-manager operated the dairy until 2004. Because of increased population in our area and the aroma of the dairy, our family decided to shut it down. In 2004, Bernard and sons, Kevin, and Jeff, transitioned the dairy into a sod farm. It has been primarily a sod farm ever since.

In 2013, our family decided to add a strawberry patch open to the public. Since then, we began growing other produce and going back to our produce farm roots. Today, our focus is sod and beef. The farm is still run by Bernard and Kevin, with the help of Bernard's grandchildren, Mason and Madison.
