About Us

We are the same as other families but DIFFERENT.

The Logan Farm was established in 1894 as one of the three farming operations spun off the Eisaman Homestead that was founded in 1840. The roots of the farm run deep. Then a Logan married an Eisaman and the farm became the Logan Farm. This land has now seen five generations work its soil.

We are a family farm with our own personalities bringing unique talents to our operation. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t, but we always work hard (seven days a week), watch the weather and pray together. Family and farm is truly tied together as one.

Carl and Nancy Logan have passed the land down to the present family of Tom and Joann Logan and their three children, Ben, Katie and Jacob. As children, the kids worked hard on the farm and enjoyed showing and participating with their livestock in 4-H. All went on to be Penn State graduates and have focused their careers in the agricultural field, much like Tom and Joann. Our oldest son Ben, has a distinct memory of playing street hockey with some of his friends from school: in the middle of the game, his Dad blew in with the pickup truck and said “get in the truck now, we have hay to bale.” Ben realized right then that he was different than other kids his age that lived in the community. He lived on a farm and work came first!

Ben and Jenn lead the agronomic and conservation efforts on the farm as a strong next-generation farming team. Ben focuses on feeding and caring for the livestock, while Jenn works closely with processors and manages meat sales, the retail store, and farmers markets. Each year, the farm plants, harvests, and markets corn, soybeans, small grains, hay, and other forages. Weather and wildlife present daily challenges in field production, requiring constant care and adaptability. Outside of farm work, Ben and Jenn are also raising the next generation of farmers—their children, Claire, Micah, Anna, and Henry. If you visit the farm, you’ll likely see them running around, with Micah especially eager to help Ben whenever he can.

Jacob worked side by side with Ben, helping grow and manage the farm. In 2019, he stepped away from daily farm life and is now a trusted crane operator. Although he is no longer on the farm full time, Jacob continues to lend a hand when needed and serves as a sounding board for new ideas. His son first came to the farm with him as a baby and loved it from the very beginning—an appreciation that has only grown over time. During summer break, he enjoys helping out around the farm. Jacob’s wife, Macy, and their daughter can also often be seen around the farm, especially throughout the summer months.

Katie is our meat scientist. She works in the commercial meat world and helps us understand the properties and interactions of the ingredients in meat such as sausage and bacon or answers the question, “Why do the Denver and Flat Iron Steaks taste so different from other steaks in the animal?” She and her husband, Matt, have three children and live in the heart of America’s cattle world in the Midwest. Her husband, also, a Penn State grad, works in the agricultural field in sales. They’re home every summer, and if you spot a bunch of kids running around laughing, that’s the cousin crew—finally together again!

Tom and Joann met at the county fair showing cattle in 4-H more than a few years ago. Tom has farmed all his life and Joann is retired from a career with the 4-H Youth Development Program. Tom and Joann have taken the farm’s beef sales from freezer beef to a few neighbors to direct marketing and branding Logan Family Farms Natural Dry Aged Beef. Tom and Ben work together to study the cattle and hogs, breeding characteristics, and the feeding protocol that makes the meat possible. Even though Tom and Joann have transitioned the farm operation over to Ben and Jenn, Tom still provides feedback on decisions made on the farm from machinery, crops and the animals. Joann passed down the task of operating the 5 farmer’s markets and corporate accounts to Jenn. She is starting to actually have time for retirement since Jenn joined the team. Joann is always willing to jump in and help whenever/wherever needed!

The matriarch of the family is Nancy Logan, Tom’s mother. She can tell you lots of stories about the farm. She has milked cows, gathered eggs, dressed chickens, grown pumpkins and picked sweet corn until she was 75. She remembers the Pennsylvania Turnpike being built through the middle of the farm. She helped make pies and breads in the outside bake oven that were sold to the Turnpike construction crew. Now in her eighties, she is the keen eye that can drive past the cattle in the pasture and pick out the animal that has a sore foot or is missing her calf. She is the official Logan Family Farms Scout! Nancy, also met her husband Carl at the county fair and set the trend for the rest of the family. Carl was the cattle man and passed along his trade secrets to his boys. Carl left us in 2007.

The Logan Family Farms Family has grown with the adoption of a cadre of young adults from the community. The farm operation needed added support for farmer markets, picking sweet corn and baling hay etc.. They are recruited from the 4-H Youth Program, friends of the family and just plain arm twisting at local venues. They quickly become family and are treated like family, learning all the lessons of hard work and the circle of life and death that occurs on a farm. They share their lives and stories with us, keeping us in touch with their generation. Some have referred to their employment at the farm, as “Tom Logan’s Boot Camp!” While, Tom Logan, now in his sixties, describes our Maple Breakfast Sausage as “The bomb.” Where do you think he got that phrase?

Quality is our first concern, not quantity. That’s what Our Promise is all about.
