TOMPKINS COUNTY
FARM CITY DAY
2003 Host: Jerry Dell Farm
Visit an organic dairy farm! Vaughn and Sue Sherman raised
their four sons on this picturesque farm located on the border of Tompkins
and Cortland Counties, just north of the Village of Dryden. Today, three
of those sons - Ryan, Jeremy and Derek, and a nephew - Troy, are actively
involved with the farm. Together the Sherman's farm 800 owned and 200
rented acres in support of their 300 cow certified organic dairy farm.
Jerry Dell farm is named to honor Vaughn's parents, Jerry
and Ardella, who began farming just down the road from the current farm
in 1946. In 2000 the farm completed the transition to organic production.
The Sherman family invites you to enjoy the scenic vistas
and relaxing atmosphere of their hillside farm overlooking the Dryden
valley. Jerry Dell Farm's herd can be seen grazing the gently sloping
pastures as you approach the farmstead.
