Harward Farms was founded in 1945 by Lenard and Hortense Harward on Utah's fertile lands in Springville, where they raised cattle and grew feed. In 1985, their son Jud and his children started selling sweet corn, harvested from a few acres and sold from the bed of a 1934 Ford truck.
This simple venture quickly grew into a family-run farm enterprise, and by 2002, Jud and Marsha, along with their sons Jake and Lenny, expanded the farm to include sweet corn, vegetables, hay, and an agri-spray business.
Today, Harward Farms operates over 2,000 acres, offering fresh produce at roadside stands, premium hay, and seasonal family experiences like Jaker’s Jack-O-Lanterns. From those first few acres of sweet corn to thousands of acres today, Harward Farms remains rooted in family values and quality farming.
