Carl VandenAvond tells the story of his family’s Sesquicentennial farm in Brown County. The first VandenAvond generation purchased the property in 1871 and were dairy farmers. In 1928 a new farmhouse was built and it is the one Carl lives in still today.  Today, the property is used for cash cropping and raising steers. The VandenAvond family hopes to continue passing the farm onto future generations in order to keep the land in the family for years to come.
