YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Last year marked a year of record growth for Farmers Trust Co., as its expanded footprint into Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio yielded results of double digit revenue growth. Farmers Trust Co. now has six offices: Boardman, Howland, Canton, Hudson, Wooster, Ohio and Aspinwall, Pa.
Adhering to the highest fiduciary standards, Farmers Trust offers estate planning, investment management, trust administration and retirement services.
The company prides itself on being an independent financial advisory firm with no internal proprietary products or conflicts of interest. While other firms offer their own family of mutual funds and investments, Farmers avoids inherent conflicts of interests and acts in a fiduciary capacity for all clients, according to David Dastoli, president of Farmers Trust..
“Our model of local delivery of highly sophisticated administrative and investment services continued to result in strong organic growth and another record year,” says Dastoli. “We continue to receive and appreciate quality referrals from our clients, local professionals, and our bank network. This reflects the confidence they have in our company and its dedicated employees. Our growth would not be possible without them.”
Farmers Trust and Farmers Charitable Foundation actively support nonprofit organizations in the Mahoning Valley by distributing nearly $7 million annually and administering donor advised funds Dastoli says.
Donor advised funds allow clients to establish separately identified accounts under the umbrella of the Farmers Charitable Foundation and have their charitable assets professionally managed and distributed in alignment with their philanthropic intent.
“2025 brings the potential and promise for hope for an even brighter and more prosperous year ahead,” Dastoli states. “While no one can predict the future with certainty, we can prepare for its probabilities and possibilities. Farmers Trust’s mission is to help our valued clients navigate both the challenges and opportunities that are inherent in every economic environment.”
