Meet the Family

We are very proud that Hollabaugh Bros., Inc. is now a three-generation, working family farm! We are also very blessed, because small though our family is, our talents are wide-spread, which is what has helped us stay in business for over 55 years!
Read on to meet the family. . .

Steve & Vicky Hollabaugh

 

 

Steve Hollabaugh - Steve co-manages the wholesale division, drives one of our delivery trucks, and is our heavy equipment operator.  A board member and owner since the business’s incorporation in 1982, Steve has been on his family’s farm his whole life.  When not driving equipment, selling fruit, or maintaining our irrigation systems, there’s a good chance you’ll find Steve taking pictures – as he’s an excellent nature photographer!

Vicky began her employment with HBI in 1989 shortly after marrying Steve.  As an ever good-natured people person, Vicky has truly become an integral part of our retail division – working tirelessly behind the scenes at the market, driving school orchard tours, and co-managing the shipping division.

Neil & Georgia Hollabaugh

 

Neil Hollabaugh - Neil manages Hollabaugh Brother’s constantly growing wholesale division.  A board member since the company’s incorporation and owner of the family’s farm, Neil is also our resident equipment mechanic.  When Neil isn’t loading trucks with fresh HBI produce or helping out at retail, there’s a good chance he’s spraying or pruning.  A long-time bowling aficionado, Neil is in several leagues and, in the off hours can likely be found going head-to-head with his son, Wayne.

Georgia is a music teacher in the Upper Adams School District and helps out at the market throughout the busy summer and fall seasons whenever she can!

Brad & Kay Hollabaugh

 

Brad Hollabaugh - Brad manages Hollabaugh Brother’s ever-more challenging Pest Management program and is the company’s general administrator.  A board member since the company’s incorporation and owner of the family’s farm, Brad is the resident expert on legislative affairs relating to the ag industry and is a vocal and essential piece in helping accurately communicate the realities about our workforce to the correct legislative parties.

Kay Hollabaugh - Kay, recently becoming an owner and member of the board in 2007, was first employed on a regular basis in 1984 and is the retail market manager.  You’ve probably seen her name in lights at some place over the years as she is actively involved in national and international marketing organizations and is HBI’s PR person.  Largely, we have Kay to thank for keeping the market and the office running smoothly throughout the hectic year.

Bruce Hollabaugh - Bruce is Hollabaugh Brother’s production and personnel manager.  He returned to the family farm in May of 2002 after graduating from The Pennsylvania State University.  Bruce became an owner and member of the company’s board of directors in 2007.  A fluent Spanish speaker, Bruce can most often be found in the field with the crew.  Since starting full time at HBI, in addition to managing HBI’s tree fruits, Bruce has introduced the production of small fruits including blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and vegetables. 

Also a graduate of PSU, Amanda works at the retail market and manages HBI’s shipping/gift basket division. Amanda takes on a long tradition of quality in shipping HBI fruit boxes and has created a wide assortment of novel gift baskets.  Their son Gabriel was born February 20th, 2006 and they welcomed their daughter, Evangeline, into the world on Christmas Eve, 2007. Fineas was born February 19th, 2012!

Ellie Hollabaugh Vranich and her family

 

 

Ellie Hollabaugh Vranich - Ellie is Hollabaugh Brother’s assistant business and market manager.  She returned to the family farm in May of 2006 after graduating from The Pennsylvania State University.  When Ellie’s not down hard at it in the market managing staff, inventories, and produce, she can be found in the office designing ads, updating the website, or doing other administrative tasks.  Most of the great new publications you see around the market are brain children of Ellie’s – as is our newly famous e-blast!  Ellie plays an integral part in the management of our ever-growing, ever-more complicated retail enterprise.

Ellie's husband, Erik, is also a graduate of PSU. He works full-time for a local engineering firm in Gettysburg, but can often be found working at the retail market during the busy season.

Cooper is Ellie and Erik's son, born in November of 2011. He hasn't started working on the farm... yet! That day is fast approaching, however!

Wayne Hollabaugh - Wayne is Hollabaugh Brother’s assistant wholesale manager.  He returned to the family farm in 2007 after graduating from The Pennsylvania State University.  In addition to helping Neil and Steve market our fresh produce, Wayne is also our key spray man and expert mower.  Taking after his Dad, be careful when Wayne’s around – he can talk you in to buying just about anything! With Wayne is his fiance, Rachael, who helps out around the farm when she's not following her full-time career path in nursing!
