Johnston Family Farm is a family owned and operated farm that has been in continuous operation since 1940. The dairy was first started by J.H. Johnston in August of 1956 with 17 cows. At that time, the cows were milked in a flat barn. In 1977, J.H. Johnston decided it was time to modernize and the current parlor barn was built. J. H. Johnston continued to operate in that barn until his retirement in 1992. At that time his son, Russell Johnston, purchased the cows and equipment from J.H. Russell still owns and operates the dairy along with his children, Ransom and Rush.
