You are invited to visit our farm located Just outside of Hamlet, Illinois, and see why we love living on the rich farm grounds of Old Paths Farm.
Our History
The original homestead was established approximately 1860 by James Monroe Dunn, Jr., David Sipes’ great-great grandfather. The land was given as a wedding gift by the bride’s father. Through examining old farm record books in our possession we find that the early farm produced and traded cattle, hogs, chickens, ducks, eggs, butter, honey, hay and oats.
