Bob and Karlene Allen were married in 1944. They started using the farm - the very same home that Karlene was born and raised in - for special events in 1946. They currently host 2 annual craft fairs which benefit the Norco Senior Citizens and Pet Relief Fund. What began with only a handful of vendors now reaches numbers in the hundreds.

The Allens and Hillside Farm are well known in their community and have been featured in a number of local news articles.
