Strohschein family's Pine Grove Farm continues to shine

There are currently 10,125 Century Farms in Wisconsin. Three years ago, there were 9,982.

The century milestone is 100 years of continuous family ownership.

A farm in Dodge County was originally purchased in October, of 1925 by the Strohschein family. Alan Strohschein shares some history of the farm.

"I did have a sign made a number of years ago. We called Strohschein's Pine Grove Farm. Our father and uncle, and others planted a grove of pine trees back in the nineteen-fifties, which have grown-up on some of the wasteland on the farm. We don't have a specific name for the farm."                                                     

The Strohschein family's Pine Grove Farm is proud to be in Dodge County.

Today, brothers Alan and Mark run the farm, preserving a  family history, including managing the 94-acre property which made it through the Great Depression and World War II.
