Kilbourn Corporation became an official business in April 2017, but its history begins long before that. Ike Kilbourn and his family have been farming since Ike was a toddler. He grew up in Lancaster driving tractors and making hay with his dad, Walt Kilbourn. Throughout the years, Ike would spend his summers working on the family farm and eventually expanding into lawn care as well. Ike took mathematics in college and worked his summers on the farm. He later graduated with a mathematics degree and taught high school math for 7 years. This continued to give him the flexibility to work on the farm in the summers.

In 2016, Ike and his family decided to go full time into branching out the family farm into a few different ventures. Today Kilbourn Corporation offers not only hay farming but also tree, landscape, masonry, and snow removal services. What started out as a small family run hay business with father and son, has now turned into a multigenerational family multiservice business.
