Two Marshall County farms were recently recognized for their longevity. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture recently recognized this year’s Hoosier Homestead Award recipients. Locally, the Evan Huff farm, dating back to 1883, and the Kitch farm, established in 1919, each received the centennial award.
To qualify as a Hoosier Homestead, a farm must be kept within the same family for at least 100 years and consist of more than 20 acres or produce more than $1,000 worth of agricultural products per year. More than 5,800 farm families have been recognized since the program began in 1976.
