Bob Evans, founder of the company, lived on the Bob Evans Farm in southeastern Ohio for nearly 20 years. He and his wife, Jewell, raised their six children in the large brick farmhouse known as the Homestead. The Homestead, now on the National Register of Historic Places, was once a stagecoach stop and an inn, so the spirit of hospitality is deeply embedded in our company's history. Today, the Homestead serves as a company museum and historical center.

Exciting events like the annual Rio Grande Bean Dinner as well as the Bob Evans Farm Festival keep people coming back to the farm. The Bob Evans Restaurant & General Store on the farm are open all year round. The farm and Homestead Museum are open daily April 1 through Dec. 23, 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
