Tom and Elizabeth Pryce settled in the U.S. in 1846 with their children. Their eldest son, Edward, was naturalized that same year and moved to Albany Township, where he and his wife built a log cabin, later replaced by a stone house. They had 16 children before his wife passed at age 56, the same year Edward lost several of their children.

Edward’s son, William, was born on the farm and spent most of his life farming. He married Ella and passed away at 77 at his son Burt’s home. Burt, one of four sons, was the grandfather of Cindy’s husband, Greg. The farm was passed down through the family, and Greg eventually bought out his siblings to keep it.

Today, Cindy’s daughters own 75 acres of the original farm, and her son owns some as well. They continue to farm the land after Greg’s passing two years ago. The original barn, built in 1915 with help from Greg’s uncle at age 14, still stands with updated siding and now serves as an event venue.

Twice a year, the farm hosts a market with around 50 local vendors from the Sugar River area offering food, drinks, crafts, and more. Cindy’s family runs a food stand, and friends offer coffee and slushies. She hopes to grow the event and attract more well-known vendors with better advertising.
