Wilma & Merle Ziebarth and Kathy Ziells, 1982
If you’re interested in the history of the land that is now Stone’s Throw Farm, check out the page I just added, complete with some really nice photos that Kathy Ziells shared with me. Kathy also sent me a deed from 1961 and some other papers that I’m really glad to have. I’d like to research the land even farther back and find out who owned it before Paul Pinard, etc.
I’d also like to share the story of the Conover family and our farming history. My dad recently shared a video with my sister and me of his family threshing oats the old-fashioned way when he was a kid. It’s really neat and I’ll see if I can upload it somehow.
Stone's Throw Farm 
Threshing oats is something your dad’s family did long after other farmers had changed to newer methods. One of my disappointments has always been that Blondie and Squirrel, Grandpa Tom’s team, were struck by lightening prior to my ever visiting the farm. Your dad did a lot of farming with horses and likes to brag that he knows how to hitch a team. I remember watching my grandfather in Pierz, Minnesota, hitch his team, Pat and Dolly. That would have been in the 1950s. You are completing a circle of family that lived and farmed in Minnesota.
