Who are we (and why are we doing this)?
We opened our farm to the public because we want everyone to have the opportunity to visit "grandma and grandpa's farm", even if they do not have a grandparent who owns a farm. This is a "work in progress" and we hope that our visitors will help guide us toward projects and programs that will appeal to the community.Dana Kruser

More Krusers
We have two sons who are grown and moved away. Jeramy and Nathan both work for SUNY at Binghamton in technology infrastructure and support organizations. It seems that if you have a momma geek and a poppa geek, you are blessed with baby geeklets.
In addition, Nathan (and his lovely wife, Alicia) havemade us a grand-geeks. Elinore Louise Kruser was born on October 6th in 2008 and is - or course - the most perfect child ever to have been born
