“God entrusted Heritage Farm to Randy and Wendy Grabau through the faith, dreams and hard work of their forebears. Stretching over the span of 150 years, the Grabau family has tilled the soil, raised animals, and nurtured new generations of men and women in the Christian faith.

“Heritage Farm is a small dairy farm nestled in the hardwood forest hills of southeastern Minnesota. My great-great-grandfather, John Grabau, purchased this land on September 21, 1856, two years before Minnesota became a state. Five generations of Grabau families have owned this farm…
…In the early 1980s, while searching for a name, I came across Psalm 16:5, 6. They say, “The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; Thou holdest my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have found a goodly heritage” (RSV). Those verses provided the name “Heritage Farm.” Heritage Farm has been a place to grow up, a place to raise my family, a place to make a living. Heritage Farm has been for me as that verse describes, a “pleasant place” and a “goodly heritage.” Heritage Farm is my home.
We hope you will be encouraged and challenged as you read glimpses of life on Heritage Farm.”

I was on my way back to Minneapolis from NE Iowa and with the beautiful March day, I stopped by Forestville SP and on my way home the township hall/old school? across the road from your farm caught my eye and I stopped to take some snapshots and as I was about to leave, a green tractor came down your drive, I had brief discussion with the driver about the farm’s heritage. Beautiful location and farm and now some lovely cards seen on your website. Appreciate the message of God’s goodness in your blog.
