Heidi Strauss - Waushara County Century Farm
Manage episode 430258055 series 2908402
Tamarack Trail Farm in Waushara County has a rich history dating back to 1924 when Heidi Strauss's great-grandfather purchased it for $6,500. Back then, the farm had no indoor plumbing and only got electricity in 1942. A one-room schoolhouse on the property served as temporary housing for Heidi's grandparents while they renovated the farmhouse. Heidi, the fourth generation, acquired the farm in 2002. Originally, the farmstead had five to six buildings and raised corn, oats, and hay to sustain cattle and pigs, making it self-sustaining by growing what their animals and family needed. Today, the farm has transitioned to a poultry operation run by a dedicated team of women, continuing the legacy of family involvement and self-sufficiency.
