The farm was named "Kemah" by the farm founders Harry and Mildred Brown who purchased the property in 1948. Kemah is a native American word meaning "wind in my face" .The berry farm itself was founded in 1984. Harry and Mildred were ole'Yankees who had a strong kinship with the land, their neighbors and nature, Harry was noted as dowser and story teller. Mildred was known for her genuine hospitality.
The farm is now managed by their son, Stephen and their daughter Deb Provost and their spouses, Mike Provost and Patrica Williams. The family continues on with the traditions of the past, such as operating on the honor system and promoting conservation.
The farm is about 85 acres with the plantation itself being about one acre.
