All about the farm
Vaughn Davis and Beth Cole grow and distribute sunflower kernels, sunflower oils, gourmet popcorn, and we crush milled heirloom and hybrid grain products such as corn flour and grits.
Vaughn and Beth have been close friends and avid bird watchers in York County, Maine for years. In 2016, they decided to turn their passion for birds into a business partnership by growing and delivering their own farm fresh black oil sunflower seed into select local birdseed markets and, as a result, created SchoolHouse Farms, LLC.
Some of our end markets include:
- birdseed sellers
- food retailers buying our sunflower oils, roasted sunflower kernels, gourmet popcorn, and heirloom cornmeal and grits
- online consumers buying our gourmet popcorn and confection sunflower kernels
- Ohio-based floral market sunflowers
- distillers looking for distillation and brewing grains
Our name is derived from the one room Frysinger School located on Davis Farm property outside Rockford, OH. The school was built in 1862 during the height of the American Civil War and was closed on the eve of World War II in 1939.
Products are sold via this website, select retail stores, and farm markets in Ohio, Indiana and Maine.

The Schoolhouse
In 1862, at the present site, the one-room Frysinger School (right) was built. In 1939, as World War II began, the building ceased to be a used as a schoolhouse and fell into disrepair. In 2010 a restoration of the schoolhouse was undertaken and the school is now used as a farm office and function hall for local gatherings. Stop by and write on the blackboard!
The Farmer
Vaughn worked around the globe as an engineer for many years, in North Africa, The Far East, India, Australia, South America, Europe and the Artic Regions of North America. The more he travelled, the more he missed his time on the land. In 2016 he decided to pursue his dream to farm full time.
