The Farm

Thanksgiving Farm is approximately 58 acres in size and was once part of a 332 acre farm called Richland. In 1892, Richland was purchased by Robert and Mary Cheston from the estate of John Kremelburg. In 1954, the Cheston family sold 58 acres of Richland to the Taliaferro family, who named the parcel Thanksgiving Farm. The Taliaferros sold Thanksgiving Farm to the Heimbuch family in 1996, at which time there were no vineyards at Thanksgiving Farm.
