Our Fleet - Papa Tractor 1955 Ford 800
Our strongest tractor @ 50 HP. Papa can do all our farm jobs, but does break down annually. Purchased last by Allan (2006 - RIP) from Alice (2016 - RIP). Papa loves to give hay rides. Thanks to our other Lake Shore farmers, Bill and Will (2021 - RIP) for helping restore Papa with an alternator conversion and a new paint job. Now Papa starts on a dime and purrs like a kitten, when he's running.
Our Fleet - Grandma Tractor 1953 Ford Jubilee
Some years Grandma Tractor does all the field jobs, from plowing the field to disking to pulling the wagons. Grandma tractor has been converted to alternator. This is a true Lake Shore Blvd tractor, coming to Marsh Creek Farms from another Lake Shore neighbor of Bud (2015 - RIP)
Our Fleet - The Youngster Tractor 2008 Ford T1510
The Youngster never breaks down and is the backup for Papa and Grandma Tractors. At 25 HP, not as strong, but better on the snow and grass. His job is primarily yard maintenance. He is a Diesel and loves parades!
Our Fleet - Bob the CAT
Not a Ford! Not a tractor. This is Tiger Lilly. But Bob the CAT is our most useful tractor. Picture coming soon. He is out almost daily working on some task. He sets up our pumpkin sale yard! He spent most of his working life in Medina, but has come to join his Mentor Family.
Our Fleet - 1967 Ford 3000
Our newest tractor. He doesn't have a job yet, but doesn't he look like fun? He comes to us from a Mentor neighbor, Veselko's Greenhouse (2013 - RIP), where he worked for decades at what is now the Mentor Senior Center parking lot.
Established 1950
Our Story
Our farm began in 1950 when Toivo purchased 15 acres and a bunch of strawberry plants and together with his father built a family home. Strawberries were grown through 1990. Allan began pumpkin and melon growing in 8th grade, circa 1969, when grocers would pull him out of class at Shore to make deals for his produce.
