Hi Aunt Carol,
It's Brooke(Ann's daughtr)I am also trying to find out history on the pansy farm.If you have any family info-I would love you to share it with me.I'm trying to do a family history for my children.How is Tracey?Tell him hello,Miss you,Brooke

my parents bought the pansy farm in 1973 from sally steele (donald and barbaras daughter) after they passed. my husband and i now live on the farm. i believe my parents have contact information for sally steele as they have stayed in contact with her through cards and letters. my parents never got rid of any historical information about the pansy farm nor did we. we have photos, literature, old farm equipment, farm logs etc. etc. all relating to steeles pansy gardens. it is amazing to us. my parents had to give up the pansy farming as the income became such it could not sustain the farm. we now farm blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, hay, some veggies on the property. the farmhouse that donald and barbara lived in and all the other barns, outbuildings etc are still in tact. it is a beautiful place! feel free to email me if you would like any further information. i do not know the burial place of the steeles but would be happy to ask my parents if you have not found that out. warm regards, teresa galin
