The Tooley-Calvin farm has been in the family for over 150 years, having been established in 1869 by John Tooley. The farm has passed down through several generations and is currently owned by Ed and Joyce Calvin.
The Centennial Award was presented to the Calvins by Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch in a ceremony held on the farm. The award acknowledges the important role that Hoosier farms have played in Indiana's history and economy.
The Tooley-Calvin farm is just one of many Hoosier homesteads in Indiana that have been owned and operated by the same family for over 100 years. These farms represent an important part of Indiana's heritage and continue to play a vital role in the state's agricultural industry.
