The J. Rowland Farm, founded in 1845

2009 Sesquicentennial Award Family  (more info)

Jeremiah Rowland arrived in Oregon in 1844, and established a double parcel DLC in Yamhill County. Married three times, Jeremiah raised 14 children. Early crops on the farm included wheat, barley, and oats. The farm once produced 12,000 bushels of wheat and 11,000 bushels of oats. Cows and hogs were also raised. Owned today by Jeremiah's great, great granddaughter, Marian L. Gray, the farm's 38 tillable acres now grow grass seed and clover.
