The Ringer Farm in Hamilton County recently received a Hoosier Homestead Centennial Award for being in operation since 1894, according to State Rep. Tony Cook (R-Cicero) and State Sen. Jim Buck (R-Kokomo).
“Indiana’s economy relies heavily on Hoosier farmers, and our communities depend on them for quality goods and services,” Cook said. “It takes a lot of dedication to keep a family farm in operation for more than a century. The Ringer Farm is a part of our state’s agricultural heritage, and I wish them continued success for many years to come.”

The Ringer Farm was among 73 recognized at the Indiana State Fair for their commitment to Indiana agriculture.
“I would like to congratulate the Ringer Farm, as well as all of the other Indiana farms on this great achievement,” Buck said. “Family-owned farms have been an integral part of our state since it was founded and contribute significantly to our economy and heritage.”
The Hoosier Homestead Award Program recognizes farms owned and maintained by the same family for 100 years or more. Families can qualify for centennial, sesquicentennial or bicentennial awards.
Each year, two awards ceremonies are held in the spring and summer commemorating the achievements of farm families across the state. For more information on the Hoosier Homestead Award Program, visit in.gov/isda.
