Nonnemacher Farms
The Florin family had come a long way from Switzerland to Minnesota before finally settling in Washington. In 1882, Lorenz Florin, at the age of 61, and his son David, 31, homesteaded adjacent quarter sections of land in the Washington Territory. They built a house and barn and began farming 320 acres with wheat as their original crop. Lorenz and his wife Mary had three children, and the farm eventually passed on to their daughter Mary in 1904, who would become the first of many daughters in the family to inherit the farm. Throughout the years, the farm has been passed down from generation to generation.
