Gerald Martin

Gerald Martin

Farming since 2013

Traditions have a funny way of circling back. Gerald's grandpa was a Perdue farmer, although the tradition skipped a generation in his family. Gerald continued the legacy in 1992 and has since made plenty of unforgettable memories. He thinks back to teaching his kids how to do things on the farm, like driving the equipment. It brought some laughs as he tried to figure out how to think, explain and operate at the same time. Gerald lives in Berks County, Pennsylvania, and operates two houses.

Greens Mill Poultry

Reginald Askew and Annette Askew

Farming since 1999

Reginald and Annette love having the opportunity to farm with both of their fathers. Reginald's dad was a farmer who wanted to work alongside his son and Annette's dad grew chickens for Perdue. He recommended that they build four chicken houses. The family has made many laughter-inducing memories on the farm. Someone once asked Reginald and Annette if they had a remote-controlled tractor. When people passed by the field, they would stop and look at the machine but couldn't see the driver. It was actually their seven-year-old son operating the tractor and nobody could spot him.
