AGRICULTURE USE AWARD

Steam Valley Farm

The Steel Family

This barn has been in continuous use as a dairy barn since it was built in 1913 on the footprint of a dairy barn that burned down. For a period of time, the farm had its own bottling operation and milk route; currently their output is sold to Pearl Valley Cheese.
