Welcome To Retter Farm

For more than 150 years Retter Farm has been home to members of our family. Over the years, descendents of John Black have lived here, worked here and loved this small farm located in extreme southeast Miami County, Ohio. Native American relics being found on the farm to this day tell us that many before us called it home. Strategically located near a prehistoric animal migration path that later became the National Road, Retter Farm has a confluence of small waterways, remains of rich hardwood forest and soils conducive to its agricultural use. Perhaps more importantly, the farm has been shelter and solace to many needing rescue from worldly woes. Visit us and learn the legacy that continues to define and guide our home.
