Innis Maggiore commissioned Steven Noble to create some illustrations for Gerber’s new packaging label line called Amish Farms. The illustrations include the classic midwest farm scene with barn and silo along with an Amish horse and buggy coming up the road rendered in a woodcut style. In addition, a chicken with eggs was added to their second label. Gerber’s Amish Farm Chicken comes from a second-generation family owned and operated business located in the heart of Ohio’s breathtaking Amish country. In the spring of 1952, Dwight and Melva Gerber started distributing eggs and fresh vegetables out of their home in Kidron, Ohio. As word got around that someone was delivering items from the Amish Country of Ohio, many inquiries regarding fresh chicken products started to surface. As demand for the Gerber’s farm-raised chicken continued to increase, the business began to grow. Now, three generations later, Gerber’s Poultry is a thriving business committed to providing customers with high quality, great tasting chicken.
