Farms View: Where Fresh Produce and Family Matter

Farms View is a family-oriented farm market in Wayne

In 1894, the Kuehm family created Farms View, a family-friendly farm market specializing in home-grown produce. Now on its fifth generation of Kuehm's, Farms View has developed a loyal customer base for its freshly-picked fruits and vegetables. Owner Todd Kuehm, a member of the fourth generation in this family of produce-pickers, called Farms View a small mom and pop business. "We concentrate on our customers more than other businesses do and that’s what has kept us here," Kuehm said.

Farms View is the nicest and cleanest Farm Market that I have ever been in. My children love to visit with the animals while I shop. They love the "chicken tractor" and can't wait for the chickens to lay eggs. If you haven't had their home grown corn that is picked and sold the same day, you haven't had corn! Thank you to Farms View for surviving, I believe that they are the last farm in town.   more ›
