SCHIFF FARMS

In 1945, Walter Schiff founded Schiff Farms Inc. near Harrington, DE. Initially a small poultry farm, the operation slowly expanded into crop production. Dr. James Schiff, Walter's son, returned from a thriving dental practice in 1978 to join his father in the business. Operations and land investments drove rapid expansion during Dr. Schiff's early tenure. Schiff Farms, Inc. then suffered through the 1980's with high interest rates, along with other ravages associated with dry-land crop production. From this difficult time emerged a vision and a plan. While hailed by some and criticized by others, diversification became the primary strategy for the future of Schiff Farms, Inc. Though slowly at first, the plan was implemented.
