R obert Rothschild Farm began in 1976 when Bob and Sara Rothschild moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Urbana, Ohio, to begin a family business on a 170-acre farm. The couple had been looking for a way to transition from their urban lives into a more rural lifestyle, when good friends from Urbana visited them in San Francisco. With that visit, the Rothschilds got just the push they needed to pursue their plan and they moved to the heart of the Ohio Corn Belt. After attending a convention in which Bob learned about heritage raspberries, he decided that was the crop they would grow. What began as a you-pick-'em raspberry farm has grown into a multimillion-dollar business with products sold in specialty stores around the world.
