History of Keim Family Market

In 1975, Amish pioneers formed a 20^th Century wagon train and migrated from Holmes County in Northeast Ohio to Adams County in Southwest Ohio. 

As word spread through the Amish heartland of the rural sanctuary that could further preserve their culture and tradition of the simple life, Roy Keim packed his family in 1980 and headed to the foothills of Ohio’s Appalachian country to start over. 

Twenty-five years ago, Roy Keim purchased 185 acres of farmland and began milking cows. Shortly thereafter, troubled times and financial crisis ensued, prompting Roy to take his wife’s homemade pies roadside along Route 32 resulting in a humble beginning that sparked the family business – Keim Family Market. 

Over the past two decades, Keim Family Market grew in size and reputation. Slowly, new homemade products were added to their offering and the modest Amish shop grew. Roy has since retired and turned Keim's marketplace over to his Amish friend Dan Miller.
