Otto’s Turkey Farm: 180 years and six generations

There was a time when nearly every country road in Barry County was lined with family farms. Dairy cattle grazed in the pastures, chickens scratched around the barnyard, and the changing seasons determined much of the farmer’s daily routine. Farming was not simply an occupation but a way of life, and the family farm was often handed down from one generation to the next. Today, many of those farms have disappeared, their barns stand empty or their fields have since been converted into residential developments. Yet, here and there, we find remarkable exceptions where the land remains in the hands of descendants of the original pioneer settlers. One such example is Otto’s Turkey Farm, located at 7640 West State Road near Middleville, where the same family has been farming for 180 years.
