14 Sodoma Farms Marker

South side of East Avenue, viewer facing east

Placed: 2016

By: Kreher Farms

“Small print at the bottom of this historic marker says: ‘Sign erected by Kreher Farms in 2016 in honor of the agricultural legacy of this community.’ It is located on the south side of East Avenue about one and a half miles east of Route 19.

According to Jim Fallon the marker was suggested by Peter Martin and that this “specific property, like many other parcels, was purchased by Kreher Farms[. It] is leased back to Sodoma Farms for strawberry production. Jim believes that Kreher Farms is now the largest family-owned farm in the state.”

Editor’s note: Other farm families in the area have had multi-generational operations of similar size and duration and so could be recognized in a similar fashion.
