We had a rare calf born this week. She is a brown lineback. They are short, great pets and are a milking breed.

Our farming roots starts in Bertrambois, France during the late 1700s. A rural community where just about everyone was a farmer. Our great, great, great, great Grandparents Sabastein George and Franciose Jaquot farmed in this region. They started a family, having a boy named John “Jean Francios” George born January 07,1820. In the early 1800’s he married Clara Wattier daughter of Joseph Wattier and Ludovine Bosquet. Clara was born August 30, 1820 in Floyon, France. After marriage John and Clara George decided to immigrate to the United States of America in 1840.
Since 1840 (180 Years) our family has been working this land in Western New York. Our great, great, great Grandparents John and Clara came to America from Bertrambois, France with a peacock and a drive for farming. They settled down in a well sheltered valley, naming the growing farmstead “Pine Grove Stock Farm”. During the 1800s the farm had 250 acres of land. The farm was well adapted to the raising of stock, dairying, corn, potatoes, rye, wheat, etc. There was a fine fruit orchard and an excellent market three miles away. In 1871 the buildings were new, consisting of a large residence, two large barns, with basements under each, a stone pig-sty, with granary above and other buildings.
In the late 1800s, great great Grandparents Alfred George and Mary Nothum stocked an ice-house from a fish-pond which is located about twenty rods from the residence. Water supply is most abundant and convenient with a creek running throughout the property. There was 1000 maple trees, a large grove of hemlock and other timber. Great Grandparents Francis George and Loretta Gaffney built a new farm house and dairy barn around 1915. The stories I hear about him was he was shorter, had a small mill and would drive down the road smoking his corn cop pipe. He would feed the cats at the barn up the road. With a railroad running through the property, shipping milk was convenient.
During the early 1900s my Grandparents ran the farm, I hear stories the horses were hard to deal with and would bite. When electricity and tractors came to the farm during the middle of the 1900s the horses were obsolete. My father took over in the late 1980s and brought the farm into the technology age with more tractors, more field equipment and up-to-date milking equipment. During the 1980s the barn was renovated and built on.
Throughout the many years some of the wood barns became a distant memory, the orchard fields became bare, the mill closed down, the rail road became abandon, parts of the farm land and buildings were sold off forever changing the dairy farmstead.
Currently in the year 2020, we run 120 acres and focus more on the dairy cow side of farming. We mainly grow corn and grass mixes to feed our 50 head of cows. We still operate out of our 100 year old wooden barn. We have 4 tractors to help with the field work and other jobs around the farm. We use white round bales and some square bales to feed our cattle in winter. The cattle are also fed a grain mix to get more milk efficiency. We provide the utmost care for our cows on the farm, with receiving a 100% in the FARM national program. We continue to become more efficient on the farm with better information and technology. On the sixth generation, LegenDairy Farm continue to provide our consumers with high quality and nutritious DAIRY MILK. Many consumers hear their farming information from politicians and celebrities, instead “Ask a Farmer”.
We have been farming for well over 200 years, the main focus of this page is to show and educate the consumer about small dairy farming. We may have some crazy Farming Shenanigans on the way through this journey! Come join my cows and me down on LegenDairy Farm. Please Support Local Markets and Small Dairy Farms!
