The history of Eshelman feeds can be traced back to 1842 when John Eshelman started selling grist mil products in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as stated on the family’s website. The company also made their own feed bags. The Red Rose name was added in 1921. Additional mills were added and the company began selling overseas. Cotton bags were made until the 1960s. The company sold in 1974.

* Please keep in mind this apron was created from an authentic vintage cloth sack. Photos show the design and print darker than in actuality. While the apron is described as accurately as possible, due to the vintage quality there may be age marks not noted specifically. Also, finding some or many seeds or feed pieces caught in the fabric is quite common. The bags have been washed at least once and many seed/feed pieces have already been removed, but some may remain.
