This is an informational web site about our family farm in Randolph County North Carolina. The farm has an old and on-going family history going back to 1849 and is ranked as one of the 100 oldest family businesses in the United States. We hope you find the information in this web site enjoyable, interesting and maybe somewhat "not too much" educational in a couple of areas. It's a place where our friends, hopefully some new friends, family, both near and far in geography or family tree and some that didn't even know they were our family, may get a feel and walk a little in the past and present of the place. Also, we love to piddle, considered by ourselves and surely considered by some others as experts in the field of piddling. This is a place where we can share a little of that too and will update as we go along.
We are proud that our family has somehow managed to keep this one piece of our past intact for so many years, generations, family members, and one thing we know for sure, it ain't always been easy. We hope it will endure through many more generations. We here today owe our ancestors a great big thank you for doing whatever it took to allow us to still enjoy this place. Even though they're no longer here, they are all still teaching us lessons on some simple wisdom and perseverance through the sum of their whole past. We are glad that we are able to share a little of it with you here. Please let us know how we may improve, add to, or take away to make the web site more interesting, or just say hello by using the FaceBook link or "Sign my guestbook" button at the bottom of this page or in the contact link page. If you're a new friend or old, we welcome you. If you are family that we didn't know we had or we're family that you didn't know you had, please let us know.
If any of our piddling interest you and you would like to know or learn more, just contact us.
Thank you, The Baldwin Place Farm Family
