Ken Spoth comes from a long line of farmers. His father Ed and mother Irene began farming on Transit Road in Swormville, NY over 100 years ago. 

Ken, one of six children, became a plumber by trade. However, farming was in Ken's blood. He craved the satisfaction that farming provided and spent the summers in the fields, mostly growing cabbage. He and his wife, Carol had five children, all of whom ultimately chose careers behind a desk instead of a plow.

When their second youngest, Sue, was twelve, she began selling vegetables from a picnic table in the front yard to earn a little extra cash. The table soon expanded into a larger stand, which eventually became so popular that it had to be moved to the lot next to the house. 

Sue grew up and went on to college, pursuing a career in corporate America, marrying Charlie, and raising three children of their own. After her children grew up, Sue began "antiquing" with friends and family. A passion soon evolved.

Sue has spent the last few years trying to figure out how to turn this passion into a business venture. What could be better than to combine her recent love for antiques with her first love, the produce stand? Her husband Charlie built a beautiful new market and "The Farmer’s Daughter" was born.

Sue’s dad, Ken, continues to farm about 125 acres, of which 25 acres are sweet corn, his specialty. Nearly all of the produce sold at the market is grown right in back. If we run short, we will purchase from local farmers to support our neighbors. Most of the specialty foods are also produced right here in Western New York.

We hope that you will share in the joy that this venture brings to us. Please come visit us soon, and come back again and again!
