The Farm at Young

Farm History

A pioneer homestead

Original Turner home

Bill Turner (on the left) was the Justice of the Peace for Pleasant Valley (you can see the sign behind the man on the right). The building was still standing when we purchased our property but has since been torn down.

Originally homesteaded by the Turner family around the turn of the century, The Farm was considerably larger than it is now, encompassing additional land on three sides of the current property. The structure to the south (pictured to the left) was the original family home and the field in which we plant sunflowers and beans was an apple orchard. Turner descendants still live in Young; one owns the property next to our field, and another lives just a mile down the road.

Tired of town living and longing for a return to our rural roots, we bought the property in 2012.

We've never looked back.
