A Sesquicentennial Farm
Owned by the same family since 1846
Scottish Immigrant, Charles McQueen,
purchased this farm in May 1846. In his later years, he parceled it off to his three
daughters, Kittie, Isabella, and Alice in gifts of 160 acres each.
Kittie, who received this existing 160 acres,
married John Otto in 1892 and they continued farming this land.
John and Kittie had one son, Harold, who
purchased the land from his parents and in turn sold it to his son, David, who sold it to
his son Tom in January 1984, with an additional 40 acres of woods that David had added
to the original farm.
In 1985, Tom and Jeri Otto gave birth to
their first son, Nicholas, who represents the 6th generation to farm this family
homestead.
In 1989, their second son, Nathan was born.
For over 20 years, Tom and Jeri, Nick and
Nate while endeavoring to be good stewards of this land, have set about making turkey a
healthy meat you can eat everyday, all year long. |
