Seven Springs Farms was established in 1994 with just a mechanic and his toolbox. Joe Nichols started his own equipment repair business after working for Robinson Implement, a local John Deere dealership located in Princeton, KY. SSF has quickly grown into the operation it is today, consisting of row crops, cattle, tobacco, and excavating. Our most recent expansion has been into straw blanket production. We use straw we produce on the farm to produce blankets that prevent erosion. Currently, SSF operates across multiple counties in Western Kentucky and is a large employer in the region.

    In January of 2021 SSF began producing straw blankets. These blankets are produced from straw grown on the farm. They are used to prevent erosion in various situations. Many are used in construction projects, such as a new home. For more information visit the link below. https://sevenspringsfarms.com/straw-mats/
