None Such Farm has evolved as a Yerkes family business for three generations. In 1926, William H. and Elizabeth Yerkes moved to Buckingham as tenant farmers and began the farming story that continues today. Retaining the long-established name of "None Such", William and Elizabeth then purchased the farm in 1932 and proceeded to raise their four children. Stories of hard times are part of the family lore that makes up the history of None Such. In one, faced with financial difficulty, William was kindly told by a local banker to make payments when he was able, allowing the family to continue farming.
Two sons, William III and John stayed with the family farming business for their entire working lives. During their tenure, the farming operation evolved from producing 400 acres of sweet corn for the Philadelphia wholesale market to construction of a seasonal farm market in 1978. Like their father, "Bill" and John adapted to changing times and demands but always retained a commitment to the highest standard of quality and farm sustainability.
In 1998, Bill and John, together with their families, accepted the offer of farmland preservation. Leslie Yerkes, John's wife, with the proceeds from preservation, acquired Bill's shares of "None Such" and created the opportunity for the next generation to continue the farming business.
Today, Scott and his wife, Rhonda, along with their three daughters, Isabella, Sophia, and Aliyah, proudly carry on the None Such Farm tradition. As a family, they are committed to preserving the values that have shaped the farm for generations—hard work, quality, and a deep respect for the land.
Growing up with the rhythms of preparing the fields, planting crops, and harvesting each season has instilled an appreciation for sustainable farming long before it became a popular concept. At None Such Farm, sustainability has always been a way of life, rooted in the belief that caring for the land today ensures it will thrive for generations to come.
While embracing new ideas and opportunities, Scott, Rhonda, and their daughters remain inspired by the generations before them. Their commitment to producing quality products, creating memorable experiences, and preserving the farm's legacy continues to guide everything they do, ensuring that None Such Farm remains a place where traditions are honored, families gather, and lasting memories are made.
