Bush’s Market began in the 1920s and this family operation has grown over the years. Now the 3rd generation is operating 130 acres of truck crops in addition to growing fresh produce which is offered for sale at their market on 25th Street in Columbus.

In 1929 the Bush family added fresh pork to the farms offerings during the winter months when there was no seasonal produce. Henry "Pap" Bush would drive the gooseneck trailer over to Pavy Stockyard in Greensburg, Indiana, to pick out 20 to 25 head of the very best hogs from the 1,000 or so this yard receives daily from some of Indiana’s best-known producers. He picked out those with the longest, thickest loins, deepest sides and weighing around 245 pounds. Seeing Henry Bush put his blue chalk mark on the hogs was like winning top prize at a good market hog show. This same tradition is still carried on today by the Bush family.

Three of Henry’s five children, Henry "Junior", Marion "Horsefly" and Bill, later worked at and eventually retired from the market. Today, Junior's sons, Joe and John, and Horsefly's sons, Gary and Rick, carry on the family tradition of running the farm and the market. Fourth-generation farmers, Brandon and Steven are even involved, helping cut the day's meat in the winter before going to their other full-time jobs.

Now, more than 75 years later the Bush family still brings the Columbus area the best in seasonal produce and fresh sausage. Vegetables are available from July – October which includes sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, squash, watermelons, cantaloupe, green beans, and pumpkins. The pork is available during the winter months, which contains no fillers or preservatives.

Bush’s Market products remain popular today because of their freshness and quality.
