But his real passion was ignited when he worked in the inner city at an after-school program for at-risk youth.

1900s are featured, including Tom Thumb’s coach.

Since then, the farm has grown substantially to over 2,000 acres of owned and leased land, and an average inventory of
1,200 head of registered Angus cattle. The farm also features a small carriage collection for your viewing interest, plus we
