Question 1

How long has the farm been owned by the Zimmerman family?

Accepted Answer

The farm has been owned by the Zimmerman family since 1872. Bill and Peggy are the 4th generation to own the farm. Which makes our grandchildren, who work here, the 6th generation to work on the farm.

Question 2

How many family members work on the farm?

Accepted Answer

The farm is owned by Bill and Peggy Zimmerman. Their sons, Doug and Joe, are also their partners. Joe's wife, Sadie, is the manager of the Farm Store. Several other family members work during our annual pumpkin patch.

Question 3

What does "Bi-Zi" stand for?

Accepted Answer

The Bi-Zi in Bi-Zi Farms stands for Bill Zimmerman. When Bill and Peggy were naming their business they desperately tried to come up with a name that included both of them, but could not come up with any that easily flowed and sounded right. Bi-Zi has also become a running joke in the family that in the beginning it was a prayer for busy times, playing on how it is pronounced. Now the joke has turned into a wonderful curse. We are getting busier every year and could not be more thankful, but when those busy days feel like too much to handle we blame it on our name.

Question 4

How many acres are on the farm?

Accepted Answer

The farm is 105 acres. We rent another 12 acres from two of our neighbors.

Question 5

How old is Jasper, the donkey?

Accepted Answer

We don't remember exactly when Jasper joined our family, but we believe that it was in approximately 2001. Sadly, Jasper passed away in 2021 after living out his best life on the farm. By the time he passed, our veterinarian estimated that Jasper was approximately 40 years old.
