What drives a family to persist and thrive in farming for a hundred years? Discover the remarkable history behind Kreher Farms as Hal Kreher shares his family’s century-long journey in transforming 18 acres of land into a flourishing farmstead. From his grandfather's initial purchase in 1924 and the bold expansion to a 1,200-bird flock by 1930, to overcoming the Great Depression and the establishment of innovative barn designs in the '60s, Hal takes us through the farm's evolution and the pivotal roles played by each family member.
