Hawkins Family Farm:
A More Than Corn Story
Hawkins Family Farm: A More Than Corn Story is a heartfelt exploration of family, community, and the deep connection between land and legacy, featuring father and son duo Jeff and Zach Hawkins of Hawkins Family Farm in North Manchester, Indiana.

While the farm thrives under this welcome family dynamic, Jeff grapples with his own legacy and his desire to be a “good ancestor,” determined that his contributions to the land will not only ensure his family’s success but also honor the earth and its inhabitants for years to come.
