Rex and Nancy Brinkman, married in 1940, started dairy and grain farming, also raising and processing turkeys. The children and grandchildren are part of the operation today. In 1952, the Brinkman's purchased the present location, a few miles south of Findlay, Ohio, with the intention of making a living, raising and processing turkeys and retailing them. In 1975, the farm incorporated and the cannery operation was started.

The cannery processes turkey, chicken, beef, pork and other related food products. The cannery workers hand pack the cans to produce the finest product to be found in the region. Custom canning is available for many meat products, including fish and deer. Our products have been recommended for supplying provisions for your personal cruising needs.

Rex Brinkman has a keen interest in flowers, decorating the road front every year with some beautiful landscaping. In 1980, he expanded his interest in this field by building a greenhouse.

In 1985, a fire destroyed the turkey processing plant. Turkey production was later stopped and the Brinkman's went elsewhere to find the superior product to connect with their name. In 1990, a large farm market was built on the east side of Findlay, Brinkman's Country Corner. This market has an extensive meat department with all premium products.  The market also sells Brinkman's home grown vegetables, their fine canned products, a yummy bakery and deli department and a glorious greenhouse. Fall is a busy time with the pumpkin patch, FFA fruit sales, and preparing for the holiday turkey rush.

Brinkman Turkey Farms, Inc., today includes cannery, farm market, greenhouse and grain farming. If we have enjoyed any success it has come about by selling only the finest quality products possible. We enjoy the work we face each and every day.
