In December of 1996 we lost Donald R. Beggs, the best son, father, father-in-law, husband, and friend. We miss him dearly. During this time Sheila began helping with the farm more, leaving her job at the hospital to help on the farm full time.
It was only one year later in 2000, Sheila and I, opened Beggs Family Farm to the public and schools for the first time. We had a little red barn, a few animals, a small pumpkin patch, and high hopes. In our first year 3,500 school children visited our farm.
