About Corn Fed
The Term
The Term
Farmers were, and still are known to eat big meals following their long and labor-intensive days in the fields. The big meals and hard work often create the physique of the stereotypical 'Corn Fed' person that we have all grown up to hear about. To be called 'Corn Fed' is an honor as we all know that this term is associated with hard work and strength. The Corn Fed term has crossed over and survived generations. Now, it is a brand that is the top choice to the Big & Tall market.
The Origin
When one thinks to the origins of Corn Fed, they think of hard working, strong, big and often tall blue-collar Americans. Corn Fed is one of the purest American terms associated to the work ethics of American farmers across the country, dating back well over 100 years ago.
The Brand
Casey Martinez, founder of the brand Corn Fed Wear, once owned a national football magazine in the 1990's, and in one of the publications he named a feature story, 'Corn Fed'. That story was about a hard working 6-7, 240lb football player from Alvord, Iowa, population 203. Casey felt the story's name was appropriate as the photo shoot of the stereotypical strong and tall young man from a tiny rural town in Iowa (the United States largest producer of corn) was taken in the middle of his corn field. The idea of Corn Fed apparel was then born. The year was 1998.
