Down on the Farm®
The place where it all began in Rio Grande, Ohio
About Us - The Farm
The Farm
Bob Evans, founder of our company, lived on the Bob Evans Farm in southeastern Ohio for nearly 20 years. He and his wife, Jewell, raised their six children in the large brick farmhouse
The Farm also has many beautiful sites – including several reconstructed historic cabins alongside a schoolhouse and a Revolutionary War cemetery.
Bob Evans Restaurant, located on Farm property, is open all year round.
The Windmill
The windmill has been a familiar landmark for passersby since it was reconstructed on the farm in 1971. It was built by James Beam, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, as a replica of windmills found in Holland. It originally housed French burr stones that were powered by the wind to grind grain for livestock. The 20-foot blades were imported from Holland.
Bob Evans Farm Festival
Thousands join us Down on the Farm in the fall for the Bob Evans Farm Festival. The food, music, crafts and entertainment have grown into a family-friendly Autumn tradition.
