Our Family We are a Family Farm in the truest sense. The farm work is done by family members and friends. I (Troy) manage and do most of the work on the farm. Sharon, and 11 year old Indiana (My Wife and Daughter) are the primary workers on the farm. Eric Burkhart, from State College, also helps out with our farm occasionally, and has become a partner in the Ginseng end of the business. We also supplement our farming addiction with off-farm jobs to try to pay off all our debts.
