The Strohauer family began the farm in 1910 in East Greeley, Colorado. Originally from Germany, John Strohauer moved out West from Ellis Island to become a farmer. While living in Greeley, he also helped build the Weld County Court House and Great Western Sugar Company Factory.

John’s son Harry P., started farming with his dad in the 1930’s. He had volunteered to serve in WWII, but was asked to stay and farm for the country. Harry P. was one of 10 siblings! His brother’s John and Paul were also partners at times on the farm.

Harry P.’s son, Harry D., currently manages the farming operations today in La Salle, Colorado. His wife and two of his three children are part of the operations as well.
