simple but impressive sign
marks the entrance to
Edgefield Farms, the home
of the Kenneth and Connie
Rutland family.
The rolling fields hide the

white fences, and black and
white cows unfolds. This is
also the home of a 240 animal

Here on 340 acres of owned
and rented land, the Rutts
operate a dairy with a 17,000-
18,000 pound average which
has finished in the top 10
percent of herds on DHIA in
Lancaster County. With
strong Ivanhoe bloodlines,
many animals in the herd
produce over 20,000 pounds
of milk.
In addition to the
production records nailed
down by the herd, the show
records are impressive. Last

Thompson Farm is one of
the countys’ prestigious
Century Farms, having been
owned by the same family
for over one hundred years.
Although there are now 14
employees spread between
the dairy and farm store, it’s
still basically a family
concern. Hazel Thompson,
Dave’s aunt, oversees the
day-to-day affairs of the
dairy store. His wife, Kate,
is a registered nurse and the
couple has two children,
Nicholas, age 2, and two
month-old Jason.
