The farm has seen many changes over the years. Three barns, a chicken coop, pig house, corn crib and were built in the 1920s. One of the barns was converted into a house a few years later and the second home was built in 1940. The lake, which offered swimming and fishing in the summer and ice skating in the winter, was drained dry in 1976, when the woodchucks and muskrats compromised the earthen dam. Many neighbors remember the hot air balloons between 1978 - 1989, which took off from "the balloon field" in front of the older house. Species that have resided on the farm include: cows (notorious for wandering over to Blue Ash airport), horses, sheep, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, chickens, deer (love to snack in the gardens), fish, crawdads, insects, rabbits, squirrels, owls and various birds, dogs, cats, and of course, humans.

The farm is maintained and preserved by the McConaughy family, who share their natural environment with the community. Read the subsections of our website to learn about group farm activities, renting your own garden space, buying fresh farm vegetables and Thomas' Gardens, specializing in hostas.
