Heritage: Something that is handed down from the past, as a tradition.

Our Basehore Family heritage started here on Creekview Road in 1904 when John and Sarah Basehore brought their young family here as tenant farmers for the McCormick Family. The property was the only McCormick farm on the north side of the Conodoguinet Creek, thus dubbed Northside Farm. Their son Mark and his wife Esther took over farming this property in 1928. In 1944, the McCormick family divested their estate, offering the farm for sale. There was a lot going on in 1944 — the world was at war and money was tight. Mark and Esther found a way to buy the property, and worked hard to keep the farm thriving. Their son Don and his wife Jean took over the work of the farm in 1968, milking dairy cows with their growing family. All family members worked together with milking, field work and animal care. Son Tom continued working with them, milking cows until 1998. He also started to grow pumpkins, mums and sweet corn for sale at the farm. Tom and Sandy, his wife, renovated the historic limestone farmhouse, raising their family in the multi-generational tradition that is so valued by the widely spread Basehore Family. Son Max is now the 5th generation of the Basehore Family to work the soil and innovate new ways to keep the farm successful. Providing the local community with nutritious food and delightful farm goods for over 110 years is a source of pride for our family. The area growth makes farming a challenge — We are blessed with good neighbors that support our efforts and respect our agricultural roots.
