Ed and Ethel's son, Bob, grew his first crop of melons while he was in Junior High. In an era of corporate farms, four acres may not seem like much, but when you consider that he did all the hoeing, planting, harvesting, and selling himself, that field doesn't seem quite so small. Bob married Lou Ann Eubanks in 1960 and the farming operation steadily grew into a 450 acre operation that included 130 acres of watermelons.

Third generation farmer, Jack Bellinger, and his wife Donna, have taken over the operation, which now includes a retail store. Donna hails from the Boston area and her retail experience has transformed a well known fruit stand, once known as Tom Able Farms, into a unique farm store that includes espresso, gifts, gourmet foods, and of course, fresh picked produce from the farm. We have added cantaloupe, sweet corn, tomatoes, squash, gourds, cucumbers, pumpkins, and other specialty crops to augment our watermelons and offer a cornucopia of field fresh produce. This is a must stop for travelers and locals alike in Eastern Oregon.
