About Us
The market was started by Jim Paulus in 1991 when he graduated from high school. Before that, he sold potatoes out of the garage, with the help of his family. He also sold produce at the town square farmers' market.
Today, Jim farms approximately 1000 acres, and is the owner/operator of Paulus Farm Market on South York Street in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, along with co-owner and wife, Amy. They were married in 2001, and now have two sons.
Jim's parents, Creedin and JoAnn Paulus, help around the farm in many ways. Creedin is the beekeeper and helps in the fields. JoAnn oversees the bakery. The family is also fortunate to have the loyal help of several long time employees and many wonderful part-time, seasonal staff members. Our Farm Family continues to grow each year; see below for the chance to become a part of it!
Amy is the educational tour coordinator and guide. She has a degree in secondary education, as well as experience in preschool teaching. School tours include a nice mix of genuine and hands-on learning, so all the children enjoy their educational visit to the farm. Tours are available spring-fall. Guests may also arrange to rent the greenhouse or tented area for private parties, birthday celebrations, and other special events.
