Description

Keith and his son Kim and nephew Todd Smalley, fourth and fifth-generation owners of the Hill Haven Farm, discussed the history of the land and the family that purchased it in 1904. The original farm produced wheat, oats, hay, beef and dairy cattle, as well as various other livestock. Over the years, the land has been drilled for oil and for a time served as the base for a gasoline plant. At the time of the interview cattle and hay were the main products for the farm, and Kim and Todd held full-time jobs off the farm with plans to acquire more acreage.
