“Lester and I have lived on a small
hilly farm in West Virginia all our
married life. I've milked all those
years. In the beginning, we sold
cream and butter, then butter and
cheese and just milk for our own
use. We have 2 registered Jersey
cows right now that our son got us
started on when he was in FFA in
high school.
We had 6 sons (our oldest died
three years ago) and no daughters.
We have 13 grandchildren. The
boys are all married and gone. We
are retired but continue to try to
farm some. I guess we’re going to
have to slow down though, as my
husband is down with a hurt back
from pulling a calf through the
barn."

add tuna and peas. Bring only to
boiling stage and serve immediate

“This was my great
grandmother's recipe, which took
two hours to cook and we con
certed it to the microwave. We
have a family-owned and -oper
ated dairy farm where we process
our own milk and sell it in our
store. We have a restaurant on the
farm that features my mom’s home
cooking. We offer the rice pudding
in our deli case and can’t keep up
with the demand for it.
, "We have about 10 family mem
bers working on our farm. My hus
band, Irv, (who bottles and proces
ses the milk) and I have three
children ages 7,9, and 11, who are
active in music and sports and are
looking forward to summer
break."
