Cut and Sew Book Panel 36" x 60"

By Stacy Iest Hsu

Most folks that farm come from a long lineage of farmers. This stands true for my family as well. Farmstead celebrates the journey of my family's farm history, starting with my Great Grandfather Simon Cornelius Iest. He started his agricultural career running a creamery in Bathmen, Netherlands. In 1921, he decided to move to America with his wife and 12-year-old son, my grandfather, Rudolf Iest. There he started several businesses, but eventually started his own dairy. This fostered a love of agriculture for my grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers...Farmstead is my way of honoring the hard work and perseverance of the past and for all those farmers who provide so much to our world today.
