The Full Story
About
​Once upon a time in Pittsburgh, the Tomer family, known for slicing meat and strumming tunes, embarked on a grand adventure. They swapped city life for the siren call of Crawford County, setting down roots on what’s now Tomer Road in Frenchtown.
​
Meet George Tomer, aka "Gumboots," the main character in this saga from the 1920s until 2009. His nickname came from his Pittsburgh charm, where rubber bands were "gum bands," and boots were "gumboots."
​
Before "Sustainable Farming" and "Farm to Table" were buzzwords, it was just the Tomer way of life. Their legacy is about nurturing land, family, and spreading kindness like wildflowers.
​
Working to keep George’s legacy alive, Gumboots Farms is a playground of innovation, with projects as cool as the people behind them. They invite you to visit the farm and join us in our tale of community, sustainability, and the love of land.
FARM GOODS
Gumboots Family Farm is offering up farm to table goodness for you and your family. We offer fresh seasonal produce, locally sourced goods, honey from Honey & Paws (our bee yard) and other items from local farms and friends.
​
The farm stand is open Friday afternoons from 3pm-6pm and Saturdays 9-3pm starting June 1, 2025
The Pigs
The farm is home to some of the friendliest pigs we have ever met - our Kunekune team. Kunekunes are slow growing, pasture based pigs that love belly rubs. We hope to offer sausage and roster pigs in the fall. For now, we are partnering with other farms to bring you delicious pork options.
