The Hall Farm dates back as far as 1929 when Jess Hall purchased his first piece of property. As the story goes, Jess started his farm with just a double-shovel plow and one mule. In 1930, he built his home that today still stands on the road that bears his name -Hall-Johnson.
Through the years, Jess was noted for his tomatoes and cantaloupe – although he raised about everything, including corn, okra, peas, green beans, potatoes and watermelons. From about 1956-1970, Jess and his wife Ruth operated a dairy as well. The Halls had 2 children, Jessie Lou Hall Nelson and Marvin Hall.
