Our History

Nourishing families since 1840.

The Legacy of Triple Pine Farm  Founded in 1840 by Andrew Jackson Hampton in the rolling hills of Simpson County, Kentucky, Triple Pine Farm carries a rich heritage of tradition, sustainability, and family values. The farm’s name honors its iconic roots—three towering pine trees, once the tallest in the county, stood as natural sentinels on the land. 

Hampton and his wife built a classic Greek Revival farmhouse, a structure that still adds charm and character to the property today. In recognition of its historic and cultural significance, Triple Pine Farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. 

For over 180 years, Triple Pine Farm has been dedicated to ethical farming, stewardship of the land, and providing high-quality, pasture-raised meat to families and communities across the region. 

Seven Generations of Superior Agriculture

A Family Legacy at Triple Pine Farm  For over seven generations, Triple Pine Farm has stood as a symbol of enduring agricultural excellence and family tradition. This historic Kentucky farm has produced a variety of crops over the years—including tobacco, soybeans, wheat, and corn—each harvest rooted in a deep respect for the land. 

In 1972, Wendell and Sherry Ford became stewards of the farm, continuing its legacy of responsible farming and rural craftsmanship. Today, Triple Pine Farm embraces a diversified, sustainable approach to agriculture, proudly raising: 

  • St. Croix hair sheep – renowned for their luxuriously tender, grass-fed lamb 
  • Angus cattle – celebrated for well-marbled, juicy cuts of beef 

At the heart of the farm’s success is the Burk family, with Cindy and Paxx Burk leading operations. Together with Stanton and Morgan Freeman and Meredith Burk, they represent the seventh generation committed to providing premium, pasture-raised meats and an authentic farm-to-table experience.
