The Legacy Behind BigDaddy's Farm: Honoring Generations of Farming Tradition

Have you ever pondered the story behind our farms' distinctive name?

Let's delve into the rich heritage that shapes BigDaddy's Organic Farm.

In 1926, Rex Clonts' grandfather, affectionately known as "BigDaddy", planted the first seeds of what would blossom into Clonts Farm, Inc. Cultivating a diverse array of crops like celery, endive, escarole, cabbage, and sweet corn, the farm flourished, nurturing both the land and the community.

Fast forward to today, and Rex Clonts continues his family's farming legacy while integrating modern, organic practices. Transitioning from Clonts Farm to BigDaddy's, Rex and his wife Denise paid homage to his grandfather's legacy. The decision to omit the space between Big and Daddy's in the farm name was deliberate, symbolizing the seamless connection between past and present, tradition and innovation.

Rex Clonts, the first great-grandchild of BigDaddy, remembers his grandfather fondly. To him, BigDaddy wasn't just a name—it was a title, spoken with reverence and affection. In Rex's eyes, BigDaddy was always one word, a symbol of the deep connection between generations. So when Rex and Denise, his wife, embarked on the journey of naming the farm, there was no question—it had to be BigDaddy's, all one word, just like he had always known it. This simple yet powerful tribute captures the essence of the farm's legacy and honors the memory of a beloved patriarch.

By infusing the farm with a fresh vision and a commitment to organic farming, Rex honors his family's agricultural roots while forging a path toward a sustainable future. BigDaddy's Farm is more than just a name; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of farming and a tribute to the generations who came before.
