Club President Gustafson (Right) and Vice President McKenzie (Left), welcome (Left to Right) Johnnie Fisher, Karl and Patricia Glaeser.

Patricia and Karl Glaeser had a dream and found it in Lucketts.  The couple and their 6 year old daughter Lauren live on “Faith Like a Mustard Seed Farm” (a.k.a., Red Hill Farm) on Lucketts Road.  Karl is retired from the Navy and now works in Washington DC. Patricia, a chef and caterer, holds down the farm front.  They are reviving the pre-Civil War era property into an operating farm, currently with 80 pigs, five cows and 200 chickens, producing 65 dozen eggs a week for local markets.  Their complete story and vision of coupling sustainable agriculture with culinary expertise to create an ‘agro tourist’ destination can be found at their website  http://www.faithlikeamustardseedfarm.com.
