Farm History

When we purchased our farm in 2013, it was an older farm that was not being used to its fullest potential, and had not been for many years.

We have worked hard to bring it back to life. Trimming trees and clearing brush, putting in thousands of feet of fencing, repairing infrastructure, and adding a second well and a water line are just a few of the capitol improvements we have made. There is still work to be done, but we are striving to revitalize the farm and the soil to make it viable farmland once again.

Roots

We are the 3rd family to farm this land. Originally settled by Martin Swimley circa 1848, it was farmed nearly 100 years by his family. In the 1940s it was purchased by the Smith Family and was a productive dairy farm.

We have since converted the old milking parlor (in the bottom of the barn) into goat pens and kidding pens.

It's still a work in progress, as a farm always is!
