“Agriculture feeds the world—responsibly, sustainably, and with innovation. By supporting farmers, you’re backing clean water, healthy soils, and strong local economies.”

BIA Farm raises vegetables, plants and trees which they sell directly from their farm stand in North Middletown, and markets them through word of mouth and social media. They like to keep things simple and natural, remarking, “We never use pesticides, and we do our best to create zero waste by recycling, repurposing, and reusing. It’s our way of caring for the earth while growing food you can feel good about.” 

When asked what their favorite part of farming was, Doris shared, “The sense of peace and hope it provides. Farming isn’t just work—it’s love for the land, care for the animals, and hope for the next harvest. Every fresh product you enjoy carries that love from our hands to your table.”

When asked what his favorite part of being a farmer, Ricky answered, “We love the freedom farming brings.” 

This Centerville property has been operating as a family farm since it was purchased in 1942 by Nelson and Geneva Witt, who raised six children: Malcolm, Betty, Danny, Lloyd, Yvonne and Ricky. Through the 1900s, the family operated a small dairy and raised tobacco and sheep. They also kept a home garden and a flock of chickens for subsistence. When Ricky and his brothers took over the 117-acre farm in 2000, they continued to raise tobacco until 2005. Ricky, his brother Malcolm, and farm hand Clarence Haney now focus on their cow-calf beef cattle operation and hay production, as well as making improvements to the land for future generations. 

“My favorite part of agriculture is seeing the growth of all things. Whether it is livestock being born and taking their first steps, or planting a tiny crop seed and watching it grow over my head- and the challenges that they both bring along the way.” Justice is the third generation to farm the land on Clintonville Road, taking over from his grandparents in 2021. He got his start raising tobacco, but has largely transitioned to raising beef cattle, as well as the hay and silage corn they eat. Justice and his wife Courtney are active in local and state Farm Bureau Young Farmer programs and have three children: Monroe, Beau and Landrie. Justice and Courtney were recognized as the 2023 Outstanding Young Farm Family by the Bourbon County Farm Bureau Board.
