Richard Olson tells the story of his family's Sesquicentennial farm in Door County. The farm was acquired in 1872 when Richard’s great great grandfather, Matthias Olson, immigrated to Wisconsin from Norway. The farmstead was originally a cash crop operation but over time turned into a more dairy focused operation. Today, the property is home to a 60 cow herd and robotic milker. The Olson family has future generations coming up that are interested in taking over the farm and they are excited to be able to keep the land in the family for years to come.
